re: It gets pretty weird when the country doesn't manufacture much stuff anymore...
-------------
That would be weird. Fortunately it isn't even remotely close to being true. The real value of what we manufacture steadily increases. We just do it with less people.


I know you are fond of percentages and the percentage of our economy that is manufacturing continues to decline. So the "real value" as a percentage of GDP is declining.
