What would you pay for an item 100% made in the U.S.A.?
I recently did purchase a pre Obamma Corvette.
I am sure that the manufacturing of new Corvettes will have to be vetted by one of his “Death Panels”.
Therefore they will quickly become extinct.
My sentiments exactly.
Having been a union member for 40 years and can’t tell you how many times I was going to be brought up on charges because I fired many drunks and loafers. All charges never materialized!
Luigi. ;-)
The same as I’d pay for any other product.
If the U.S. can’t compete making something, try the next thing.
No subsidies to losers.
I’m usually on the other end of that stick. :-)
Whenever I see a Ford truck or a Chevy Blazer rolling down the highway, I say to myself "There goes another Obama supporter."
Buying American will only encourage our government to further increase taxes and regulations. What we need to do is send them a message that enough is enough.

they are not willing to pay more. That coupled with our open market and most of the worlds closed markets have conspired to reduce consumer goods production in the U.S.
1. We bought an American-made Vizio tv, and it was very reasonably priced. It seemed to work fine, so we made it our computer monitor and bought a bigger one to be our regular tv.
2. My kids are American-made! Don’t know how much the home-grown premium is, though, because we are still paying, and paying...
3. Our Japanese exchange student says that, in Japan, a Mexican mango goes for about $6.00. A Japanese-grown mango, however, can retail for $100.00. People will pay it, too, if they want to give an impressive gift. There are some wonderfully made American things, aren’t there? We just have to support the craftsmen and artisans who make them. I’m thinking of Bowie knives, Reuter (?) pipe organs, See’s Candies, for starters. I pay more for California wine, by about 50%
