Are we, as Americans, turning away from American-made products?

Well if there were actually many out there that were trying to be competitive then I would buy American. These days it's nearly impossible to find. All the producers are sending their factories overseas where they can get really cheap labor. We've put ourselves out of the race. Now we're sending all our money overseas.

I buy American whenever I can afford to and sometimes when I can't and have to short us on something else to pay for it. We need the jobs

I buy American as often as I can on anything. PRoblem is that overseas can make things cheaper so the cost is less because they only pay employees few bucks an hour at best. In America we pay a decent wage to be able to live on so the price is higher. People go for price, not America. Toss in the fact that you can't find many things "Made in USA"... can't remember the last time I found clothing that said that and I look all over for bargains and sales.

rolezz1 I do try to buy American but first some of the American manufacturers need to lower prices to meet the prices of places like Walmart that I can buy clothes made in other countries that cost much less and that I can afford.sure if they had American clothes that fit at a price I could afford I would buy all American.

I'm a fan of American made, it's just hard to find it here. Everything is made overseas. Even baseball equipment is made over there, America's past time and we cant keep up with baseball equipment. CRaZy. I would like all or even better than half of the products in our stores to have American products. That's why I drive a 91 p.o. Chevy pickup with rust falling off of it. American made (mostly) and still running.
