"Free Market". That's the general style of economy we have, I think we can all agree...but -here's the kicker, the brain-hurter, the whatchamacallit-
Does it mean that the system was designed for us to buy the "cheapest" or "best" products? Or does it mean that we are FREE to make a choice as to what we buy?...
Because if it's the latter, and I thoroughly believe it is, then we ought to be putting our money towards what's in our (as a country) best interests. And that thought ought to have priority far and above choosing what's "cheap" or "better". In other words: Buy American/Canadian...support that which supports you -- or we'll all be sorry....
Final thought (in line with what Fbodfather was quoting/saying)
:flag2: <= This Flag means something...and it has nothing to do with YOU...but US...all of us.

And just what of the everyday stuff that we buy, clothing, tv's, toaster ovens, etc are still made in the US?
THAT'S the problem.
Even Levis jeans haven't been made in the US since 2004...
