Mart to thank for that. The country is turning into "service industry"
company and now those jobs are fleeing to India.
> > Eventually something will be done, but I think we will have to hit
rock bottom first. I think one of the most important thing a private
citizen can do is "buy American". That is , if you can find anything that
is American Made anymore. But if you have the option, you should buy
American made products, they may be a little more expensive, but it's
worth it, in my opinion.
> How Right you are BUY AMERICAN , that is what my family tries to do, but
it is hard, when you buy an american car with all foreign parts LOL
> IF everyone would take your advise we would be in much better shape.....
> SO WHAT if it costs a little more......People should feel pride in
buying american made products.......
> Let me tell you what happen to me.....I purchased some flags..Not
thinking to look at the tag, I just wanted the american flags .....OH
yea..They were made in China...!! I couldn't do anything but tear off the
tags....And wave them with American PRide............
> Thanks for keeping in touch....This is a great place to vent and get
some great feedback.....Have a wonderful day.........BUY AMERICAN MADE,
PASS IT ON
Check the stars some flags made in China were discovered to have 62
stars, some 48,52 .....
