Maybe one day we will see more made in the U.S.A. ...wouldn't that be nice!cindy letchworthhttp://www.hubpages.com/Cindy+Letchworthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3076711926174868540.post-82839145303260024622010-02-18T08:19:23.087-06:002010-02-18T08:19:23.087-06:00Greed, pure and simple, is the reason American com...Greed, pure and simple, is the reason American companies and big box retailers first began importing everyday products from China. When that didn't make profits fat enough, many built factories there, thereby controlling the price of products from factory to store shelf. <br /><br />There's something totally *wrong* when it costs "American" retailers less to make, then ship, goods from the other side of the Pacific rather than from within the U.S. <br /><br />Personally, I would rather see "Made in China" on a label than "Assembled in the U.S.". The latter tells you nothing about where an item's parts or its ingredients originated. I was thrilled beyond belief last month to buy three pieces of kitchenware labeled "Made in the USA". The thrill was short-lived, however, when I put on my glasses and read the fine print that "made" really meant "assembled".<br /><br />Closing that loophole in Truth in Labeling would re-open hundreds of factories in the U.S. and put Americans back to work.JamaGeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16973656461323918279noreply@blogger.com
