but do they actually use that 40k sticker price in figuring manufactured goods?
I don't know
or when they figure it are they only figure parts made not the actual car sitting on a retail lot?
I don't know this one either
granted theres a lot to think about but the bottom line is the argument that the US doesnt make anything just doesnt hold ground. we just dont make what we used to because of globalization. I've also learned the US is one of the largest chemical producers in the world still. many chemicals needed throughout the world are only made in the US simply because noone else has the facilities or the skills to. the whole we make nothing is all political mongering if you ask me. politicians like to trump it up to strike fear into peoples hearts to sway voting just like global warming

bottom line if you close all importa the USA would be totally fucked. Prices of good would go way up and inflation off the chart... developed countries rely on developing countries too much to ever go back.

how is that a problem
at the end of the day its not the number of units that keeps a company in business but the dollars earned. our manufacturers are showing more dollars generated than chinese companies and the products we are making are higher profit items to begin with. if we are still posting higher dollar figures and higher profit returns then how are we "not making anything"
:doh:

Raw materials, factories, employment, etc... that's all being spent overseas.
