Who says nothing is made in America? The world flies our fighter jets, drives our tanks and shoots our guns and missles.

Good trade?

    It sounds like we are only good enough to make weapons of war. I'd never want that title. This post was edited by Zack at March 22, 2017 9:58 PM MDT

    We're good at making many things!  Here's just one company: https://sydell.com/

    Do you make soaps, cheese, and other stuff to sell at Farmers Markets here?  I always buy those for myself & as gifts for friends and family.  I always go out of my way to support my local farmers. :-)

    lol.  Where did you come up with that?  No one (or at least people who bother to pay attention) says "nothing is made in America."  The list of products produced here is extremely long.  Vehicles and weapons make up a small part of  that list http://www.usalovelist.com/list/

    As far as your question regarding if the weaponry purchased by other countries is a good trade, tell me the countries and what the trades were, and maybe I'll come back and give you my opinion on it.  ;-)

    Yeah, and all the computers in those weapons use integrated circuits manufactured in China. It is simply not possible to check all the parts for unauthorized programming. If we ever go to war with China, there is a good chance we will get shot by our own guns.
