On a recent supplies run into town, we looked at every non-food item that was on our list. 31 items. 3 did NOT say 'Made in China'. We were NOT in WalMart.
Disagree...The American peoples apathy for the last 40 years has allowed the USA to be sold off, piece by piece. We have allowed our government to run the tab up to maintain a false sense of prosperity. We feel or have felt we are a rich nation and can afford it all, we no longer have to strive to be competitive as a naiton. We have become a self indulgent nation of X Box players and TV watchers dedicated to following fashion.

One thing I wish our Liberals would do is listen to BO critically. He continues to state that America is a rich nation and that it is a shame that we can not provide HC for everybody. This means he is still of the mind set that we can afford it all cause we are rich. Contrast that to the way wealth is really accumulated, and a good primer for that mind set is laid out in the book "the Millionaire Next Door." If one does not follow the principles that are laid out in the book one does not become rich nor stay rich.
