When I come across a pair of jeans or a household item made here now I'm so glad. For domestic products I'm willing to pay more, no problem. Almost all the things sold by the Smithsonian are foreign for some time. Bernie helped to make inroads for American made items, it's a start with a long way to go. What a shame.
