Quote:Permit me a rant.

I know most of our products we buy are an import. But it really got under my skin this weekend when I was checking out some July 4th products. One in particular. It said something like..Never forget those who sacrificed and kept this country free....with all the red, white and blue trimmings.

Turn it over for price check...see Made in China. That's a disgrace to those written words, which by the way, mean absolutely zippo to those making it. I will not display any patriotic items this year, since I won't buy any. Just a flag, made in Milwaukee.

At least a bill has been passed that all flags be made here, and that was after public outcry. But it's not enough.

It can be done again. Don't buy this junk.

Thanks for the ear.

 

You know, I appreciate your sentiment and understand your frustration.  However, look around your home and realize, many of the products and things that you own are not "made in America".  It might be little things like perhaps the sheets on your bed, or bigger things like the television that you watch.  Look at your smartphone.  Do you think that it was "made in America"?  The short answer is no it wasn't.

 

This is the 21'st century and a global economy is a very real thing.  Things that we as a consumer nation spend our money on are not produced in our own country.
