An excellent chart to serve as a reality check and to counter the overly simplistic and purposely misleading "It's the ecomnomy stupid" type of attacks.

This seems to me to also be a good counter to those who are constantly bemoaning free trade and our trade deficit with a few countries. China is not even in the top ten.

THE reason our USA is under attack is because, with GW's win in 2000, we are now out of step with world socialism's movement. Kyoto's economic suicide pact went unratified, 95:0. The Clintons' 5th column work went unfinished.
Islamists war against us will cost us hundreds of billion$ every year from 9/11 on. That should slow down our economic mircle so the EU can trade favors with the oily Islamists.
