I don't mind paying for quality. Once in a while I buy cheap, if it

Same here, but the point I was making is that quality and "made in the
USA" are not always the same thing. In fact, they are not usually the
same thing most of time. Where a product is made should be irrelevant
to what the quality of the product is. A toy made with lead paint is
dangerous whether it's made in China or Chicago. Far too many people
act like "Made in the USA" is a stamp of quality, not location.

It's certainly more suggestive of quality than "Made in China". g

It used to be, anyway... I'm not sure any more, though I hope it still is..
I have a 99 Dodge ram that the VIN says is assembled in Mexico.. it's been a
damn good truck for me..
Better than in the USA? A lot of dodge owners think so..

Folks in Mexico don't have the job security that the US workers have... Screw up
a truck and they're back on the street..
