Do you buy American made products?

I bought a 2013 jeep a few weeks ago it was like 90 precent made in american the rest in mexico not china yet.

Oh yeah, Bodacious Cases are gonna bring the USA back, yessir!
Recovery is just around the corner.
I betcha the plastic was imported FROM CHINA

How'd it make you feel? I feel good when I can help to support our own. Keeps our money at home.

Lol, didn't say they would bring us back - but they are trying.

Whenever possible and practical.

...but if I need something disposable and cheap ....Chinese works in a pinch.

Yes, whenever I can find them. My sister wanted a spice rack for Christmas this year.

I found out that Kamenstein makes spice racks here in the U.S. The price was comparable to the Chinese junk, so I bought one of those for her.

I'm so sick of buying items that break before you can even get them out of the package!

Yea, like toys from the dollar store... Nothing upsets a kid more than a junk ass toy that looks cool and as soon as you start taking it out of the packaging it breaks.

I have been advocating buy American since the 2008 debacle. It is often hard to find US products immediately but one can Google the subject and I believe that they have extensive lists. The Supermarkets here are required to list where certain products come from on the goods in store. Check the labels in clothing or ASK the sales person to find out where the product originates. A small local store in our town is TRYING to sell only US produced clothing and advertising as such.

Fuck no

Why not?

I try hard to buy either American or Canadian all the time but boy is it hard to find some things made in our countries as you all know. Grrrr

Even at the grocery store!!!

Yea, before I bought my sawmill - I had it down to a Canadian made vs Amish made.

I went with the Amish made because the canadian company had it built in china. It was much cheaper than the amish made one, but the one made here was so much better quality.

I try not to..

Oh if bumming on a beach is the only thing. . .

It says your from the UK, if you had to choose between American Made or Chinese made... which would you choose?

I don't understand???

I do my best to buy Canadian as much as I can. But yes, it's getting hard to find such things.

The cheapest, I find most products outside the Asian market, (not cars, I have a BMW) to be overpriced,made with the same materials with the same build quality.

american

I consider Canada to basically be American when it comes to products... But I can't recall the last time I seen a label that said, "Made in Canada".

I try to buy american when i can. my favorite brand of jeans, 'miss me jeans" used to be made in america, now the label says 'designed in america' and 'made in china'

its a really hard thing to try to find american made clothes that are quality, you wind up paying a lot. but the well made stuff lasts longer, so i never mind paying. i would never buy cheap clothes. ever.

Thank you :)

I live american products but just don't understand why they give the credit to the chinese with made in China plastered everywhere?

Even the iphone aand other products like it say made in china!

Same in Europe too, so how does one know that the product truly is authenitc apart from the luxury goods and cars?

What say you OP???

I know my call of duty game is US made OR US BWAINS that fo' show,

Me too! But I consider this as well when making purchasing decisions.

USA is the biggest customer to Canadian goods so I feel it benefits us to support them. It's a win, win for both of our countries.

Activision who made the game is owned by a French company, it's the free market system, I don't think you will ever get back to the days of 100% made in USA,UK, ect...

Both our countries economies are so intertwined that it's hard to tell where it's made I find. You can see what I mean at this link.

I'm a patriotic America who would love it if our country was more self reliant. I would love it if we manufactured more here so we wouldn't have to import so much. But the fact is that we live in an age where the global economy dictates markets. Profits drive companies over seas, for cheaper labor.

Capitalism is great. But only upto a point. When we start putting profits ahead of morals then it becomes a very slippery slope.

The "aliens" movie series or "avatar" or any number of movies based on the future all show corporations run everything. Fact is that's how things are run today too. It's just better hidden.

Education is not something that should be for profit, which is why we have a public school system. It's not perfect and needs some reforms but the basic idea is that an education should be available to everyone. Not just those who can afford it.

Healthcare should be treated the same way. The idea that you can only see a doctor if have insurance (money) is insane.

My gf wanted to buy a dodge, and I told her she shouldn't. Not because I don't want to buy domestic. But because the quality just isn't the same as some of the imports. She bought a charger anyway, and ever since she has had problem after problem.

Corporations need to stop sitting on their record profits and start paying workers better, invest in better quality products. And obviously build more here in the us.

Sorry for my ramble
