I am sure its like that in other states too. Most of all these decisions are made without John Q. Public being aware of it untill we wind up on the check-out line and are shocked by the price, country of origin or quality or lack there of, I have no answers, only questions. Peace,,,Moosie
I would rather pay an american worker more money to get a quality product than to a pay a chinese worker less money for a product that lacks quality.

Thats my choice and my opinion.. Atleast in this great country we are entitled an opinion. However, I wish more people would be patriotic and stand up for our country and protect its interest.

If you didn't like my plan
I guess we could just no import it all... Thats what the Japanese do to us, but you don't see us stop importing their stuff!
The problem is that everyone talks about Fair Trade in the current administration and the previous ones but there really isn't any Fair Trade with most of the countries that we deal with especially China. Fair trade to me would be a country buying just as much from us as we buy from them. That isn't the case here with China. They are holding a lot of paper on us (The USA). From what I understand just the interest on debt that we owe wipes out a lot of the savings these cheap foreign imports give us.

If you would like to know more about what is going on behind our backs I recommend everyone tune in to Lou Dobbs on CNN. On the east coast he is on at 6pm and a repeat at 4am the following morning.
