Re: Can we really buy only American made goods?

[ Edited ]

Search "clothing Made in America" to find what is made here.  There are a few still daring to compete with China.  

 

In the past American made products were always high quality and in demand by foreign countries; however, since most are made in China, there's not much to buy from us.  

 

Countries lose their edge when they depend on others for their products.  It's insane medications and other medical products are made in China.  When our American auto and truck manufacturers depend on China for their parts.  The list is long. 

 

It's suicide to depend on one country for most products.  What happens when relationships sour?  One country is at the mercy of the other.  One country holds all the cards; which is where we are now.

You can certainly try, but it would be difficult.  Not impossible, though, if you do alot of planning.

I have a friend that for years will not buy anything not made in America.  He said it is extremely hard to find.  It's hard on his wife when trying to buy him birthday/christmas presents.

You are very welcome, @Foxxee. And you can be certain that I would not report your post.
