I think you're overreacting, and over-perceiving a decline in the US industrial base.


And I think you are looking at the economic situation through rose colored glasses. Our industrial base has been in sharp decline since the late-1970's, allow this to continue and we will suffer economic collapse. As Penguin pointed out to you, the only reason for the less than disasterous economic numbers is because of creative paper shuffling. Paper is meaningless. Real wealth lies in the tangible; factories, produced goods, and natural resources. In these areas we ain't lookin' too shiny right now.
