49. Made in China
Sun Dec 1, 2013, 01:46 AM
Dec 2013

I am one of those people that used items from the stores without a thought about where everything was made, until, I watched Death by China. WOW did it change my thought. If we don't change this we will be a very poor country if we ever face sanctions on the US from China. We would be poor very fast. All of our companies including the ones that claim made in USA are Chinese made in China. An example of this is Craftsman. They claim made in USA but since 2001 they ran over and started making stuff in China. We opened trade and gave away jobs, businesses, and who we stood for.
We need to make a stand. We need to take back our name. We need to not buy from anyone that comes back to the US from china.Set a example that says we will not give you money when you ran to China.
