25. I've never understood why
we have so many consumer goods made abroad and 70% (the figure I hear quoted most often) of our economy is dependent on consumer spending.

Americans (when they have the money) like to buy clothing. Why not make our clothing here?
We like smartphones and upgrading our cell phones like crazy. Why not make them here?

See where I'm going with this?

China has billions of people. Let them make their own sh**.
