As for trade, this country no longer PRODUCED anything to trade, we are just another consumer nation. Dependent upon others to produce what we consume.
Actually you are a little off on this. Major international corporations are building factories here while American corporations build factories over there. Japan for instance, Toyota, Honda, Panasonic, etc have build many major factories on US soil in the last decade avoiding places like Brazil, Vietnam and Bangladesh. These are the very places the US corps are building factories.

Interesting dynamic I know but we are not a manufacturless nation and that will not happen. You are still almost as likely to find many products made in the USA as made anywhere else in the world unless you are talking consumer electronics. That is a whole different category.
