I think you fail to realize a couple of things. For one there isnt fair trade between imports and exports between us and Japan or china and Im not just talking the QTY's im talking the actual rules and tariffs. Second off I think we do need to start buying American, there are American products out there that are better than imported goods. I'm all about competition and a global economy but I think the Government has allowed other nations to use us a stomping ground.

Excellent post. Also, we must include the health care issue into this discussion. Foreign manufacturers have a competitive advantage because they don't pay for employee health care. Japan, Korea, Germany all have a national health care system.
