Bingo! The "free traders" who thought we were going to maintain our largess off of revenues generated by a "service economy" are the true jesters in the court of American economics/politics. That, and I seem to recall being told "Everything is going high tech. No more high paying manufacturing jobs." a few decades ago as well. How's that working out?

Little manufacturing = Little prosperity. Low wages = Poor consumerism.
