    Fact: Just 2.7% of personal consumption expenditures go to Chinese-made goods and services. 88.5% of U.S. consumer spending is on American-made goods and services
I quoted this number in the past in a comment and insomniasexx made the observation that her families business is able to out the "made in America" stamp on their products even when their raw goods are largely sourced from China. This could drastically skew the numbers, couldn't it?
