19 million jobs, 60% of US exports

Yeah, another thing I could go on and on about that is wrong with this country.
The short version is manufacturing jobs have been shipped overseas where cheap labour can be found (cough...China...chough).
So what's left in the US?
Intellectual property (that'll help really to have some independance when it comes to physical goods), virtual money making (Wall Street...yeah great) and the service sector (would you like cheese with that?).
So our duty as Americans seems to be to buy cheap plastic toys made in China for our kids around the hollidays so the US economy can thrive?

It is my understanding that the general feeling amongst average people (me included) is nothing is being made in the US anymore.
Just look at where the parts in our computers are made to the largest extend.
One other word, solar panels...like I said I could go on and on.
