"but considering how little is made in the US"

Actually, the US is still near or at the top of the manufacturing list to be honest. ( $1.7T in 2009 )

What we DON'T manufacture is the cheap and easy goods. Countries with low labor costs handle that now. We do specialized and crazy complex goods. Aircraft, health care stuff, industrial products, etc.

So while the general idea is that the US doesn't manufacture anything of their own anymore, it's not entirely the whole truth. :D
