Trade laws aren't fair. You guys want to spend your money indiscriminately based on price. The reason their products are cheaper is because they allow workers in their country to be exploited, and manipulate trade policy intentionally to undercut the world market.
It's going to be more expensive to buy American. You may not always get the best quality either. At some point though, you have to quit sh!tting in your own backyard. Save yourselves or start saving your money to move to a country that hasn't been ravaged by its own ignorance.

lol. go price a Camry, accord, altima fusion and Malibu then tell me how much more expensive US cars are. but there's a reason they can sell there cars for more, and still sell more of them.
and the "fairness" of trade laws depends a lot on the county. our trade agreements with japan for instanse pust everybody on equal footing. that's why they build them here.
