Buying USA?
After spending sometime shopping this weekend, (which I hate) I'm finding
out that nothing is made in the USA anymore. Most is made in China. With all this money going overseas to china, is there a chance we could be supporting the Chinease Military? Scary thought. Also, spent some time checking out Rockler's Pre Christmas sale, I noticed most of what I was interested in was made in China. It also occurred to me that other woodworking retailers offer the same products but under their name. Is most of this stuff manufactured in China and their name stamped on it? So you're really getting the samething only with different names? Does Lee Valley or others as an example sell more made in the USA products than say Rockler? And does anyone know of a list, broken down by category of made in the USA products? Example: Tools, Furniture, Building products etc. Just a little concerned about all this $$$$ going to China and our politicians and retail manufactures promoting this idea. Is National Security an issue? Not to mention all the jobs lost to this practice. Rich -- "you can lead them to LINUX but you can't make them THINK" |
