so sad that we all grew up in a generation where US manufacturing was the only game in town.
Europe and Japan were in tatters after WWII and the US performed nearly all of the world's production. Bureaucracy in the UK and Europe (read: taxes) were so high that nothing cheap could be produced there. Now that's all changed now that Americans are satisfied buying products made by children and slaves -- even if it has a US Flag or a NASCAR logo on it or similar. I'm a big proponent of buying used -- eBay, craigslist, etc. each purchase one makes from a neighbor in this country is money that stays in this country and strengthens the dollar. Each purchase made of a new foreign-made product sucks value OUT of the country and depresses the dollar. Hopefully people will learn this as the internet connects more and more people. Churches and schools should not be havens for creeps.
