Gee Scott, you just hit the nail on the head why
there's such a big trade deficit with the rest of the
world.
Who ever thought that the terms "Made in Japan" and
"Made in the USA" would swap exact opposite places
with "crap" and "quality" in the short space from the
'70s to '90s.
Did you know China has a trade deficit with Europe and
most of Asia, the US is the only OECD country to have
in which China enjoys a trade surlus? You can't blame
Wall Mart... you have to blame American manufacturers,
they just don't cut it anymore. Meanwhile China is
buying up high-end euro & japanese goods like there's
no tomorrow.
Regards,
Alan
