We do not manufacture more consumer goods than other countries.

Try weaving, you have to build looms, try shoes, very few left, most of the equipment is overseas. We have sold tons of capital equipment and moved it overseas or to mexico.

I will have to find the book I read recently about capital equpment flight to other countries and the fact that we do not have the trained workforce we had fifty years ago

We could never replicate the manufacturing miracle with did with WWII

Are you saying, for example, that no one in the United States could build a loom?
