A bit off topic but have you seen the Walter Williams opinion piece about how the US is still a producing nation with manufacturing amounts that exceed all but two nations in the world? Very interesting.
No, I have not seen it but a link would be helpful.
The economic growth in China is recent, which is why it didn't happen sooner.
No one said it had anything to do with US government policies. It doesn't. I said that US manufacturers need to take advantage of the boom in China because if we don't, the Europeans will.
Come on. I was trying to agree with you in my backhanded way.
Save some time and scroll past my favorite female politician and start reading. I think you would be interested in all of it so just start at the beginning.
Because there are many things they don't produce and want to import.
Exactly and some fool americans want to get out of the global market so they can can become a third world country. Every civilzation that has propser has done so on trade;not just their own consumption and prodcution. Look at americas rise after world war II.
Well, they don't. It is not cheap to start designing a new airplane when you never built one before. Sometimes it makes sense to import some and export some. Even US worked that way when were were at the peak of our production years.
which of those items are you claiming they don't make? floridasandy has already pointed out that they do indeed make planes.

What the heck? Does he not realize that the end of year 2000, not 2001 was the end of first year of the decade. Who is this guy? OK, I'll keep reading, but so far I am not too impressed.

The truth of the matter is that we must wait another year before the new decade begins at 12:01 a.m. Jan. 1, 2011. Just do the math: The end of 2001 was the first year of the decade; the end of 2002 completed the second year and so forth. The end of 2009 completes the ninth year and the end of 2010 completes the 10th year and the end of the decade. One minute after midnight Jan. 1, 2011 begins the second decade of the third millennium.
Not trying to be a smart ass, but when do they project they will be rolling those jumbos off the line? When will they become real competitors for the manufacturers of the same kind of thing?

Yes, that is what US did after WW-II. There was practically no competition because Europe was levelled, so it gave us a good start. And now China is doing it while US has lost interest. So, yes the China and India markets need to be taken advantage of. Both will provide huge markets for all kinds of US goods once they expand their economies more.
