You really think people are that educated? Milwaukee electric drills are made overseas and Makita is made in Gerorgia by American workers for example.

people can google....

Buy American ? That depends !

Quality, availability, and price are my criteria.

 

[strollingbones]

i think that is most consideration but i will pay a wee bit more for american made

New Balance and many things made in USA at Zappos. They have free shipping on shoes and free returns. Love it.

I do try too. I don't mind paying a little extra..
It is hard to buy all American though. Our globalists in Washington make it hard to buy American..

I look for quality first. Where it's made is immaterial.

That leaves out buying a vehicle then. Also tennis shoes except for New Balance. No clothes either and I was going to pick up some boxers.

A lot of products marked "Made In U.S.A." have foreign made parts within them. A good example is cars and trucks. Most people can't afford American made goods if they're made with union labor. Some textiles made in America are made from foreign ( imported ) threads and yarns. Some home appliances that are marked "Made IN U.S.A." have foreign made parts inside. All electronics have foreign made parts inside. As a general rule, folks buy what they can afford to buy. And, many times, foreign made is cheaper. Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart, and others, became giants because they offered goods that folks could afford.

Most people would love to buy American made if they could afford it. If one were to only buy American made, they wouldn't own a TV, computer, stereo, automobile, and other products. Most sporting goods are foreign made. Nike imports a lot of what they sell. Most housewares are made in foreign countries. Tools, toys, and appliances are made in foreign countries for the most part. What would we buy if we limited ourselves to on those products that were 100% made in America?

Most Toyota cars are made in the USA.
