That is a cute graph of pac man eating all the little pie slices, but I don't believe it.
I am an American manufacturer in an industry where there is only one other person really "manufacturing" product in the USA.
I try to "buy american", whatever that means, and still have a closest full of clothes, all my electronics and almost all of my consumer goods from outside the USA. Take two minutes and really look where all the things you use on a daily basis are made!
Even my car, a Hot Dog, Apple Pie - Chevrolet was assembled in Mexico!
Sure, most food, utilities, phone service, mortgage payments, taxes and service related things are from america, Yes those are all personal consumption. I think the concept of that graph is flawed.
I would like to see the graph of non-food goods. I would bet that graph would look VERY different.
