Perhaps... So what is the answer? (I hate that I still have to add the disclaimer, but here goes... I would have replied to ES, but she is still 'ignoring' me. Childish, but what are ya gonna do. I apologized for being a tool.)

Seriously, I am certianly no expert in macro-economics, but really, what is the answer to this issue? Sure, we would all like stuff to be "made in the USA". But the facts are this... The cost of US produced goods rarely comes close to that of goods made overseas. Generally, the overseas product is also of superior quality.

What is to blame for that? Unions? Our fat arsed lazy selves? What?

FWIW, I care very much about this issue. I has a great deal to do with my business.

We know the problem, lets hear some solutions. Here are mine.

1.) Limit Labor Unions. Yes, a fair wage should be expected, but $30 an hour to push a button in a steel plant?

2.) Eliminate sales tax on US produced goods.

3.) Education. Lets actually teach our kids real world skills, rather than worry about sex ed and all the nanny state crap.

I've got more, but lets hear yours.
