What are we #1 in making any more?
Weapons, I assume.
Aircraft, if Boeing can ever deliver the dream-liner.
Farm equipment (Caterpillar and Deere).
Farm commodities.
Higher education, I suppose. The lead we had is too great to completely lose overnight.
Finance? not any more.
Software? moving offshore.
Fiat money, unfortunately.
We’re not economically dead, but we are in serious trouble.

Farm equipment (Caterpillar and Deere). Farm commodities.
CAT is moving a lot of production (and technology) to India. Naturally farm commodity prices will fall as Indian and Chinese agriculture modernizes, while diesel and fertilizer will go through the roof. So it won't be long before America is unable even to feed itself.
I don't know what the K-man was smoking when he said America is not a nation in decline. The rot is undeniable and accelerating. Higher education is the next bubble to burst as more and more realize that a degree is worthless in a world where your job, possibly whole field, will be moved offshore to benefit the balance sheets. The very idea of being an American is being systematically devalued and undermined. The globalists are going to face one hell of a day of reckoning when/if the American people ever wake up to what is going on.

I also would add:
1. Agriculture (food)
2. Information Technology (computers, software, telecom)
3. Bio-technology
4. Pharmaceuticals
5. Health care (surgical tools and techniques, equipment, etc.)
6. I believe US is the world’s most efficient manufacturer
7. Financial services
Probably much more that I can not recall at this time.

Don't forget TRUCKS and network-computing software of every sort. The actual EQUIPMENT is made in Asia.

Software? moving offshore.Only for offshore applications. To operate in America as a software developer, you MUST be atuned to American customs and preferably IN America.

Debt, wealth redistribution, corruption, and waste. We are also #1 in making fools of ourselves on the world stage. How’s that for real change?
