    :rofl2:You've got no room to complain about foreign made products if you're buying them. Nobody's holding a gun to your head as you pull out your wallet.:naughty: If you look hard enough, I'm sure you can find U.S. made stuff to replace them with. :burnout:

    its becomeing a global econemy. i really dont like it because we were on the top and to achive a balance the people on the top take the hits while the people on the bottom get the gain. but this is whats happeing and we really dont have significant say about it. sure its easy to say buy american but its hard to actually do it these days. my wife needed a really good gas milage vehical. at the time she had a jeep liberty. talk about a pice of junk, it got 14mpg on avarage. she got a job that had along comute and it just didnt make sence to have that milage. the prius made perfect sence. the gas savings makes the car payment. the only options that met our mpg requirements were shoping were foreign cars.
    here at work we try to use us made products but that gets harder and harder every day.

    thank you for proving my argument, as for me I buy as much US as I can but there is just alot of stuff you can't buy that is even owned by a us company anymore. Heck RCA Zenith and Philco have all declared bankruptcy or went under, unfortunitely it looks like the auto industry one I have worked in even here in Utah(the company I worked for was a parts supplier to the big three in the recent year they have cut back the number of employees from 2800 down to about 850, they were a major contributor in the economy in this area) along with the thousands of US jobs may be next:(
