Participant[quote=outtamojo]I digress but if we wanna buy something American made and pay a little more than it is worth because it is made in America and also keep it out of hands of non-citizens, then how about buying a house, it would really support American manufacturing and construction, banks and realtors : )[/quote]
Pretty much the only thing that kept our economy going for the past decade. Look how well that’s turned out.

Participant[quote=temeculaguy]Here’s why history and anectdotes don’t matter. We work, hell we work too much. We have the longest workweeks, the shortest vacations, the longest working lives. Sure we end up with shorter lifespans, more heart attacks, high divorce and substance abuse rates. [/quote]
Will not argue that.

We will have bad years, we may lose some ground and some industries, but we keep coming up with new ones. [/quote]Enlighten me, please on the new industry we have come up with — other than the fail safe housing that we abused grossly this last cycle.
[quote=sdrealtor]You are full of it TG – I say while drinking a Cab from Oakville in a GoVino Glass Made in the USA. We make nothing;)[/quote]
When did you buy that glass and where b/c I’m having a hard time finding wine glasses made here. About ready to check antique shops.
[quote=carlsbadworker] We have so many choices available to us to improve our lots, that the rest of the world could only dream about. [/quote]
Except fewer choices when it comes to buying American.

Yeah. Great minds think alike. I just feel like many people are being duped. Sometimes I shop on line and see something I might like. I call the store to find out where it’s made and the person checks and comes back and tells me China. I can hear the disappointment in their voice. Sometimes it’s just a combination of defeat, surrender, acceptance, denial. One time the girl I spoke w/said she stopped checking b/c there’s nothing she can do about it. Everything is made there. I just am not that willing to bend over and take it, I guess.
