It was really disgusting to see how much is made in China and imported. They even segmented the multiple things for sale at the Smithsonian that were made in China.
Maybe Donald Trump is right when he said that we need 25% China import tax.
The USA can make all that stuff that is imported and better! Sometimes cheap prices from China are not worth the consequences of what is happening in the US with unemployment.
Did you ever consider that some of the health issues with children might be related to these cheap imports? Do you really think there is alot of quality control? Obviously not with all the China recalls.
Time to learn to live with quality items....not quantity junk.

THANKS!! 8|1|I found out that Diane Sawyer is running segments all week.|Arizona|vbj48@cox.net|10:37:05|03/01/2011|
Last night was sooo interesting. They asked a family to look through their house and see what was really made in the USA. Not much!
Then they pulled up a truck and loaded in the truck all the items that were not made in the USA. The results were shocking.
If you have a chance, please watch Diane Sawyer on the World News. You will be astounded.
No wonder out economy is in the dumpster. BUY AMERICAN!
Please...it takes all of us to become involved. Do we really want to become the United States of China?
9|1|I buy American when I can but sometimes it isn't possible.|mmj2236|sasha@mccarvill.mv.com|18:13:32|03/01/2011|
Try to find reasonably priced jeans made in the usa. When I say reasonable I mean less than $30 a pair. It is not possible.
Also, I bought a lawnmower made by Ariens as they are totally made in the USA. The thing was a piece of junk so I had to return it. Thinking I just bought to base a model to low for my needs I bought the next model up. Guess what still a piece of junk. Ended up with a john Deere which is partially American made. Isn't that sad. But I really tried to stay with a made in the USA lawn mower.
And I definately do not buy food grown anywhere but in the USA. No chilean fruit, no chicken processed in china. Everything I buy is grown, processed and packaged here in the USA. But it is easy for me as I grow my own veggies and can or freeze them for the winter, I have chickens for my eggs and I buy local raw milk and beef. I recently started buying wild seafood as the farm raised stuff from Asia is fed antibiotics and is often grown in sewage. It costs way more but I am way more comfrotable with what my family eats. 10|2|I try to do USA only, but is nearly impossible|driller|harj@frontier.com|18:28:45|03/01/2011|
Could boycott, which would mean no more dollar generals, or for that matter, any dollar stores.
I try to do all american built, grown, etc. But like most, is nearly impossible. Even though it is made
here in the US, such as ford, GM, Chrysler, etc, they all import products to put it together, so in reality
they are not all american. I pretty sad. :( Mostly you are just buying the new, but not the american product~
~Judy in MI~ 12|3|That is because so many USA businesses have gone under.|Arizona|vbj48@cox.net|09:50:49|03/02/2011|
I'm sure we all would have bought American if we had only known what was to come.
Hind sight is 20/20. 11|1|Tonight they are going to fill the house with USA products...|Arizona|vbj48@cox.net|09:23:47|03/02/2011|
They have removed all the China junk. I can't wait to see this segment.
This has really become intriguing to watch. From what they said, it was truly a challenge to find USA made products.
Some China products that I will NEVER buy are: Human food, animal food, health and beauty aid products and medicines. There was a coupon recently for "Blink". It is an eye drop for dry eyes. I looked at the box when I went to the store and it said made in China. I'm not putting anything in my eye that was made in China. Eek!
I know somethings we have no choice on that we need to buy. All we can do is our best in finding USA products and try to be as informed as we can. Read the labels.
