This is not an "attack" or anything like that... Just a question posed to make people think...
If evrything we buy is made in Pakistan and China, what happens to jobs in our own country? What happens when jobs in your OWN industry go overseas? People in Pakistan and China DO have to live too... But there's a simple theory. If you are making less (and the country is exporting less) than you are spending (and importing), it's not sustainable.
