cheap chinese "fender" at big box guitar sellers. The reason the US economy is in the ****.

The cheap Chinese copies play as well and sometimes better than the American made ones.
The reality is that most "American made" Fenders are simply assembled in the US, the parts are manufactured at their main plant in Mexico.
It ain't about the label, it's oh it sounds!
Oh, and I think Doug was looking for a first electric, I think a MIM or a Squier are great first electrics. Why spend a grand on a guitar when you don't really know what you like yet?
