Uh, are there any goods made in the US anymore?

No. And we don't export anything either.

U.S. exports $714.5 billion f.o.b. (2003 est.) CIA World Fact Book

Japan exports $447.1 billion f.o.b. (2003 est.) CIA World Fact Book

Germany exports $696.9 billion f.o.b. (2003 est.) CIA World Fact Book

China exports $436.1 billion f.o.b. (2003 est.) CIA World Fact Book

Hmmmm, imagine my surprise. Not only do we still make and export stuff, we're the largest exporter in the world.

Well, take out the fudging in these numbers and the "paperwork" like the lawyers what does this mean? Average working Joe is once again on the short end of the stick.

Nice try though. Just put up a bunch of figures! Tell me, how much of those numbers is cars and durable goods being exported? Hmmmmm????? Didn't think so.
