Don't forget Japan. Willie was probably worried about them in the 1980's. They had huge surpluses and their economy is much more manufacturing based than ours.

They've had what, 10 years of recession in the last 13 or so. They now have the largest government deficit compared to GDP of all the industrialized countries.

Right, before it was Japan, now its China who we want to emulate, because they manufacture everything. No thanks.
