Ann the US should specialize in what it does best. If they can do retailing better than one else, they open shop all over the world.

Wherever I live, there's always a Carrefour, Tesco, MacDonald's, Starbucks, Marks & Spencer because rich countries know how to sell and this is good for them.

What the US needs to stop is producing, sugar and ornage juice, buy it from whomever produces those goods cheaper. Then it can negotiate intelectual protection agreements with those countries and sell then software and high technology to them. That's how we all benefit.

Go tell this to your politician. Let them know that protecting steel jobs in Pittsburg or Angora goat farmers in Montana and orange groves in Florida, is the fastest way to poverty.

Look where "How Americans Can Buy American" book is printed and come here tell us.

>>I ordered 3 copies of "How Americans Can Buy American" yesterday from Amazon.com <<

Have you checked

a) who wrote it
b) where it's been printed
c) who's delivering from where

just joking ;)

btw, one big success could be "How and what Americans call sell to the world" - I can tell WMT (and MSFT, just around the corner from here) have been sighted in Munich, but what about the rest?... C taking over Deutsche Bank? DCX selling US-produced cars in Germany?...
