"America needs to make better products and sell them for more affordable prices. That will solve the imbalance." That sentiment is right on target; Japanese companies are offering American consumers products they want and need. It is time for American companies to start offering products that Japanese and other foreign consumers want and need: products as fitting to the needs of the Japanese consumer as Japanese products are fitting to the needs of the American consumer. The United States is a land of ideas; surely American entrepreneurs would be able to think of something to sell overseas-- provided that silly government protectionist measures do not destroy their incentives to be efficient and innovative.
