#6  The sad thing is, Pappy made a comment about this a while back. And he meant it as a joke.

#5  swksvolff, your little one is just the right age for HannaAndersson.com clothing. I've bought her stuff at garage sales, clad each trailing daughter in the pieces in turn, and at the end they still looked almost brand new. I believe her clothes are made in Sweden and the U.S., of Swedish fabrics. There is indeed a great variety of quality goods made outside of China, well worth spending a little extra to acquire, even if it means fewer items altogether. Even WalMart carries an awful lot of made-in America brands.

Separately, and continuing off topic, I've read recently that the Chinese government has significantly reduced their holdings of U.S. Treasuries since the beginning of the year, but that we haven't really seen a large change in prices because the international private sector has picked up the slack, concerned about the safety of their own currencies and economies.

I'll go read the article now. Perhaps I'll find something intelligent to say on-topic, after.

#4  There are still many excellent clothing, cutlery, children's toys made in the USA. For really just a few pence more we get long lasting clothes, knives and forks which don't rust in 6 months hold an edge and don't taste like old moped, and toys I don't have to check up on for recalls. An extra 10% for at least twice as long usage is a no-brainer for us.

#3  Thanks. And I walk the talk about Boycotting Chinese goods because it just feels better somehow. Sometimes I order stuff online that turns out to be made in China, and I return it.
When at all possible, I buy clothes made in USA (a refreshing discovery that there is any still made here thank god) and shoes made in E.U., furniture made locally, and never never buy edibles or household goods from China, etc. Actually, some of my recent kitchenware has been made in place besides China, which took some planning. It feels much better to me personally to know Im not supporting the Fibroid Tumor that is China. They absolutely nauseate me.

#2  Excellent analogy GT. I might have added oozing, stench-laden, purulent discharge. But that's just me.

#1  Greedy bastards. They already sell orphans like so many pairs of shoes, organs are a logical progression. Orphans, Organs, whichever brings money, they dont care.

China is the equivalent of a 90 pound large fibroid tumor attached to U.S.'s back, making us bedridden and stealing our blood supply, someday its going to have to be lanced, before it kills us (its host). When the removal happens, were going to lose a bloodbank worth of blood and many pounds of flesh, but we'll survive (just barely) as a country. BOYCOTT CHINESE PRODUCTS!!

Will we do our part to starve them economically? Probably not so they will continue to slowly suck the life out of our country and someday might own us. But Washington will never wake up. Will they? Its on us to make our public officials accountable.
