Hi Robert, Re: The U.S., IMO, still has some of the best companies in the world. Did you happen to see that interesting bit of news about Sears profits last year? They made $0.9 Billion on sales and $1.5 Billion on credit card operations. You may not see a hollowing out, but only if you are intentionally blinding yourself. Here's a bonus question. Of the total sales at Sears last year, what percentage of merchandise was manufactured with U.S. labor? How about Wal-Mart? Hollowing out is real.
