I mean, this is actually true, just not in the way he thinks. The amerikkkan ruling class (always maximizing profits) has offshored almost all of this country’s productive forces since Carter began the neoliberal counter-revolution, which means that it is harder (but more profitable) to buy and sell things in the USA. Various monopolies also mean that the capitalists can charge almost whatever they want for increasingly shitty commodities and services. The USA can actually produce everything it needs very cheaply, but this first requires us to drive the capitalists and their running dogs into the sea so we workers can do our fucking jobs.
