So what does America make that leads the world in manufacturing andexporting.Trash, America is number one in the world in producing and exporting trashor whats left of what they have consumed that gets thrown away each year.

America is also number one in the world in manufacturing and exportingporn,America manufactures 90 percent of the worlds porn with all othercountries making up the other 10 percent.

My personal analysis is that a country of 300 million plus can not rely on trashand porn to be our top growth industries.

America's manufacturing base has been gutted out with no return in sight,this will in fact accelerate what were already seeing. Painfully highunemployment with well paying jobs being a thing of the past a faint memory.

I can recall when I decided to move to Texas from California the last few daysthere I would look around as I drove through the Valley of southern Californiaand I noticed something I had never noticed before all the years I grew upthere , and this was in 2006.

Chapter 5 The US Military

I think its safe to say that the US military over the years has been the bestfighting men of war the world has ever seen, from the militia and minutemenfighting back the British empire to winning two world wars fighting enemies onmultiple fronts.

There are never ending stories of American service men bravery and valor onthe battle field.But America's financial woes are starting to drag on the countries militaryabilities as well. Due to US deficit spending any prolonged military confrontationwould have to be financed by foreigners most of which are not really consideredallies or friendly to the US.

With China financing a large portion of America's borrow and spend binge itshard to imagine the US being able to fight a long protracted war withoutCommunist China money.

Not only does are military lack the finances to fight a long battle,the break down

in manufacturing has effected our ability to produce the supplies and goodinternally the military needs to function.

Believe it or not the US cannot even manufacture the required bullets neededfor our m16s,if millions of rounds were needed we would have to ask Germanyor China for bullets to load our guns to fight a war because they are no longermade in the US.I know unbelievable America's financial woes are hindering our ability to financeand supply our military over the long term other countries such as China, Russiaand Germany are using there large wealth to build large and sophisticatedmilitary might.That in the future may equal or surpass the US military, there was report in 2013that predicted china's military would equal or surpass America's by 2020.
