I don't know why you guys are getting so touchy. A couple of predictions, since this seems to be the place for them:

1) The days of incredibly cheap goods from China are numbered. China is going to start focusing on quality, value for $ and high tech, just as the US did so successfully 50 years ago. Heck, they might even go to the moon and bring back the US flag in case anybody hasn't noticed their new place in the world. ;-)
2) US manufacturing and export is about to undergo a renaissance. "Buy USA" will be a popular theme before you know it, based on enthusiastic innovation, durability and top quality. We're about to re-learn what our grandparents knew: it's better to buy one really good pair of shoes that lasts 5 years than 3 cheap pairs that fall apart in 6 months.
3) The low dollar allows the US to export again under real competition, which is what you used to do, rather than using contrived laws.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
