I'm definitely versed on history and Capitalism, and I suppose I should have mentioned that it isn't just the US having economic difficulty right now. Building American in America is really just an old fashioned ideal concept (if believed by Americans), but I'm really not that naive enough to seriously believe that. Canada is a great nation undoubtedly. Maybe my analogy is wrong but wouldn't it be like saying "Hockey = American" and DAMN, I love my hockey!
