You aren’t much of a thinker Mr Sauer.

Obama has been in office for less than two years but America hasn’t produced much in 15-20 years.

Remember when someone found out that all the American flags in the White House were all made in China. Insanity.

Any country that cannot even produce their own national flags...well, as I said, Insanity.

It makes no sense. Nothing makes any sense anymore.

I disagree.

Granted, the de-industrialization of America has roots going back decades, however, Obama has put it on warp drive.

Clearly, this is odious treason of the first order and Obama should answer for it in a court of law.

USA still number one manufacturing country:

The world’s top manufacturing country is the United States, as has been the case since before WWII. In 2007, the United States’ manufacturing output was $1.831 trillion US Dollars (USD). This is about 12% of the USA’s entire GDP (Gross Domestic Product), or $12,206 USD for every person in the 150 million-strong labor force. Still, the USA’s output per capita is not the world’s greatest among manufacturing countries — that honor goes to Japan. Important goods manufactured in the United States include, in order of percentage of exports in 2007: production machinery and equipment, 31.4%; industrial supplies, 27.5%; non-auto consumer goods, 12.7%; motor vehicles and parts, 10.5%; aircraft and parts, 7.6%; food, feed and beverages, and 7.3%; and other, 3.0%.

In 2007, the top manufacturing countries besides the United States were China ($1,106 billion USD), Japan ($926 billion USD), Germany ($670 billion USD), the Russian Federation ($362 billion USD), Italy ($345 billion USD), the United Kingdom ($342 billion USD), France ($296 billion USD), South Korea ($241 billion USD), Canada ($218 billion USD), Spain ($208 billion USD), and Brazil ($206 billion USD). There is also a general correlation between how much a country manufactures and its total GDP. Depending on the percentage of their total economy taken up by manufacturing, a country’s economic and political leaders may wish to take steps to adjust accordingly. For instance, the USA has been losing substantial ground to China in recent decades, meaning that US political leaders have an interest in increasing the total percentage of the country’s GDP dominated by manufacturing.
