Your point is correct. The vast majority of goods sold in
the USA are of
foreign manufacture now. I'm always a bit amazed when I
discover the
product I've bought is of local manufacture. Last figures
I saw said the
trade deficit between the US and China was something like
78-22. One only
has to watch container ships entering and leaving San
Francisco Bay to see
this--the incoming are loaded and way down on their
waterlines, while the
departing vessels have empty containers and are riding
high.

Actually, we're shipping a lot of 'stuff' to China. A lot of
machinery, that will be copied and then produced in China
for 1/4 the price.

My brother just got back from 3 weeks in China for Alticor, which
has established a large niche there...

Whew. That makes me feel a whole lot better.
