Idiot child-

When someone says we don’t make TVs anymore in the USA it’s commonly understood by adults that this statement is not negated if we make a few here - 1-2%
This is known as colloquial usage. But like an infant you take Paul’s statement too literally. Adults have no trouble getting Paul Ross’s point

LOL! He's not lying, he's not wrong, he's speaking informally. That's funny.

His point was you can't trust the government export figures because he knew we didn't make any.

"His data is fascinating when you dissect out from the exports the things which we don't even make: TVs & VCR, DVD players, etc. None. NONE."

As a lawyer, maybe he should be a little more precise in his speech?

Using your logic I could say we have a balanced budget this year (the deficit is only about 1.2% of GDP) and "it’s commonly understood by adults that this statement is not negated if we overspend by 1-2%"
