Housing and automobiles are not going along for the ride and they are going the other way.

Worst part is, those two industries aren't completely outsourced...yet.

Was in WalMart yesterday looking at the thousands of boxes of christmas stuff stacked in unopened boxes. Out of over 200 I bothered to check (very bored!), 2 were made in the US. One was Scotch tape and the other was $1 christmas cards. There was one from Hong Kong, a few from Singapore, and one from the Phillipines. The rest were from China and/or had no country of origin on the box, but appeared the same as the ones from China.

I heard another congressional debate this weekend for Minnesota where the deficit was a topic of key concern. the incumbent was trying to change the subject while the challenger kept hammering it.
