We buy too much stuff globally and do still export quite a bit. We need to level the cost playing field (lower wages for US workers) or wait for the other countries to catch up. I believe the latter will happen, but it will take a longer amount of time. I call it Global Equillibrium.

What I was refering to was not on the products they manufacture but on the plants they manufacture them in... The pollution and safety regulations for manufacturing plants in the USA are much more strict. I agree the regulation on the products they sell here are the same. Plus I was talking generally on all goods sold here that are not made here, not just cars.
