In reply to the discussion: Sen. Harry Reid furious over China-made Olympic team uniforms [View all]WinstonSmith4740

Still made in USA, or any variation there of. There are places you can go, and sometimes you have to buy on the internet, but in the long run, it's worth the extra effort, and usually money. I simply don't buy it if I can do without it. Granted, some things like electronics are almost impossible to find made here, but you'd be surprised what you can do in the way of clothing, furniture, toys, etc. And after all, you buy stuff like clothes, shoes, and household stuff way more often than you do a new computer or TV. You'd also be surprised how often store employees notice it when I pick something up, look at the "Made In" label, grunt "China!" and put it back.
BTW, Dog lovers!! "Milo's Kitchen" treats are made in China.

Reid probably found out the same time everyone else did - when the uniforms were delivered.

Harry, if you don't like it then quit supporting and voting for the slave trade agreements.

Why hasn't he been furious over the job-transferring "free-trade" agreements?
