When I was a kid, 30 years ago, all the cool stuff came from America... Toys, shoes (Converse All Star!), model engines...
Then it was Taiwan, then Korea, then..... China...
Now it seems that every damn thing comes from China, even pulsejets...
The vídeo is right, and you know what? Everybody, everywhere should do the same.
It's not different here....
Great vídeo Robert!!

My new work boots are Redwings, $235 and are made in the U.S. Could have got one's a lot cheaper. The last pair lasted over 2 years, 2080 hours a year that only .05649 a hour. Not all there things are made here. The Hall give us printouts of whats is made here in the U.S, this make it a little bit easier.

Which vehicle is more "American" - A Toyota Camry or a Dodge Ram Pickup?

I'll give you a hint, one of them is made in Georgetown, KY ...from rolls of raw steel.

The other is "Hencho en Mexico".

            The sad thing Steve is that some of the  Red Wing's are also now being made in China.I bought them for 22 years.  Equally as well has been Carthartt and many others that have been staple clothing of many trades workers.  They too have fallen victim of the same logisitics the video poses. The problem is that when one suggests to buy American, there's nothing virtually left that we were once so brand loyal too. Myself being a carpenter and recognizing what was standard in the industry tool wise is also now made in the orient. I find it incredibly difficult to find many of the items I use daily. When the major retailer of the US is Walmart and almost 90% of their products are foreign, how does one compete with that? The reality is that you don't. I'm a fan of American products and I personally can't stand the fact that the majority of clothing comes from foreign sources. All of the home centers are equally guilty of the same practices the video expresses and therefore when one typically doesn't have an option to choose otherwise,  the foreign products once again supercede. It appears or seems like to me, this was the whole plan. A plan that has worked quite well for those whom benefit from it.

As a homeowner, nothing goes up my rear end more than appliances. As homeowners, major appliances are in the top 5 things we purchase and nowadays you pay 4 times as much as we should for pieces or useless crap that we don't even get half the lifespan out of them compared to the units were replacing. I've had 3 washing machines in under 20 years. I don't ever recall my parents even buying one in 20 years.  One washing machine is made in the US today, it's a commercial unit for car washes to wash their towels. The trickle down theory has impacted so many subsidiary business's, how does one make them return and be able to start up once again from a practical monetary standpoint. I would like to know.

For those like myself, you may just find this link to be very helpful.  http://www.americansworking.com/  Ken
