Most of the parts that go into computers are made by contract manufacturers in the PRC and other locations (but increasingly, solely in the PRC) and are only US in label, but not in terms of country of origin. This is my area of expertise. Do you care to rumble?

I never intended to imply that there are no foreign-sourced parts in products produced by US companies. My argument is that the ability to manufacture/purchase products/components at the most efficient source leaves us better off. This is indicated by a number of factors, including (for example) growth of US economy compared to Europe and Japan as well as the strength of American corporations.
