We produce more services and we spend more via government PER CAPITA. We produce far less real product PER CAPITA. As a result, we export less and import more.
All we need is a few more "free" trade agreements and soon we won't produce anything at all. "Made in America" is going the way of the Dodo.
Question for you: Would you say John McCain was correct when he told an audience during his campaign in 2008 that "those jobs aren't coming back?"
Do you believe that free trade agreements are treaties between nations as defined by the constitution?
