the US is still the biggest manufacturing economy on Earth, despite huge losses over the last 40 years
the ? up thing is that American unions fought to get a living wage and a standard of human dignity in the workplace, so American capitalists just moved their businesses to other countries that didn't have strong unions or humanitarians in authority -

But you said we are the number 1 manufacturer in the world. We are one of the top, but not the top, and we are producing less and less especially compared to our consumption hence our record trade deficits. -

- Debt
- Bed Credit
- Famous people that are famous for doing nothing (i.e. Paris Hilton)

China is the biggest exporter now. It surpassed German last month.
A significant # of stuff produced in america is only consumed in america e.g cars and machinery
