    Mostly a statement that we import nearly all our consumer products and ship NOTHING overseas....hence there is a huge river of US funds going offshore NEVER to return. Foreign aide is the same bullshit.

    Japan however exports tons of products as does china and the all the oil in the middle east. Hell, I would bet Morocco exports more shit than we do!

      Ok, just looked to me that you were trying to contradict something. I will say this, exports as a percentage of US GDP are higher than any other time and have trended up for decades. Another difference in Japan and us is that very little of their debt is held overseas.

      I want to like Slow99 since people I know say he's a good guy, but just about everything he posts is condescending and passive aggressive.

      Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

      You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

        And you would be very wrong. Only china and germany export more than the US.

          Russia exports more women, but that's for another thread.

            All I was saying is that buying foreign goods isn't helping our situation in this country. Even though some foreign cars are built here and use parts built here, the profits from manufacturing still go out of this country.

            This country needs to return to its manufacturing roots. That will eventually happen but the sooner it does, the better.

              This whole thing is almost like "them" purposely driving down everything and hearding the investment cattle towards bonds. LOL

                Ive been saying this for years but people call me a moron for it. Its like they expected the US to turn into a country of college educated super geniuses and it didnt work.

                I always thought it was hillarous how europe thought we were a buncha dumbasses yet our country as a whole always did better in every regard, something to be proud of actually.
