Yes, we import more than we export. Americans like to save money. The cost of labor is high in the US and low in Mexico, Pakistan, and China. Corporations are taxed in the US so they send manufacturing out of the country.
Would you rather pay $$$$ for an American made item or $ for the same quality item made in El Salvador?
Me - I will take the less expensive.

Of course I understand the need for trade with other countries and do not suggest we only make products in the USA. And, YES, I would rather pay more for an American item that gives jobs to tax paying Americans.. Maybe that makes me weird?
