Problems is, we don't make jack shit in this country anymore, we are a service economy.

How did the export of goods from the US rise over 25% this quarter and increase nearly 50 billion dollars compared to last quarter if we don't make anything here anymore?

American financial companies sell lots of financial products.

and there's always Core2Duo !

And machines and devices to kill people with.

They would have risen 100%, or at least 25% of a much larger number, if your economy was more manufacturing-oriented. Of course, a high dollar is part of why manufacturing was dying in the first place.

You base this on what? Our manufacturing base is huge in the United States. What it isnt is the majority of jobs anymore. This has more to do with automation than offshoring. If we simply moved factories off shore there is no way our manufacturing base would continue to grow.

Yes we still manufacture/grow food, autos, planes, pharma products, and some highly specialized equipment but we don't make consumer products. You will have a hard time finding clothes, blenders, or *pick a category* that were made in the US available at any store.

These consumer goods are what would be surging given the tanking dollar if we still made them here in any quantity.

Are you capable of multi-line posting, or do you just intentionally troll your "sky is falling" in every single-line, often single-sentence posts?

I'm just wondering if you're truly as worthless as you're making yourself out to be.

It's already too late.
If you're just buying gold and silver now, you've already missed the boat.

Why do you bother posting? Nothing you say has been worth reading.

I hope things aren't as bad as they look, but all the economics professors at my college are basically saying the same thing, that it is time to seriously start looking at commodities.
