OK now it is starting.
The revenue did not increase, because it is headed to China.
That is right. We offshored our manufacturing.
We buy stuff from China. China makes the money.
They grow. We shrink. See how easy that is.

The reason why we're suffering is simply because government is taking more resources from the private, or freely trading, sector. Command economies, like the government, are horribly inefficient, meaning that they generally don't fill the wants of the people that they supposedly serve. They serve themselves first.
