Actually, America is a net exporter of RVs, travel trailers, and other such recreational products; it’s my understanding that the folks over in the Middle East and parts of Europe can’t get enough of them. []In fact, a large part of the reason why I first came to oppose Obama was because back during the 2008 elections he proposed a series of taxes that risked crippling the RV industry.
@JmcaRice "Far more true is this…..The world’s finest movies are American, IMO..same with the music…until recently, IMO."yes I love American music, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, The Who, eric Clapton…. of course the source of that music goes back to Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, sipi Wallace, big mama thornton,billie holiday, etta james……………
Just another note of interest? Israeli Defense Industries biggest product export for some time was reconditioned Hind Helicopters from Russia sold to “third world” governments.
The small arms industry includes a lot of “rehabed” stuf from all over. F-16s and F-35s are contracted as big ticket items, but only part of the picture.
