America Sends Too Many Jobs Overseas
Because it costs less to manufacture in Third-World countries than on USA soil. However, this practice is negative for our GNP, and the general Economy at home. We need to bring our industries back Home.

Now the dollar is gaining in strength, and the British pound is weakening, maybe you Americans will flock across to Britain to buy good top quality very very cheap British products. After all we supported you when the dollar was weak...;-) QUID PRO QUO!!

The situation with Pirates capturing huge ships might put payed to the practice. I can imagine the cost of protecting ships is going to be blown out of the water so to speak.;-))

I agree on some levels, but disagree on other levels. First on my mind is the fact that the work ethic here is not what it should be. It isn't even close. In some instances, American goods are of higher quality, but I don't believe that applies to all goods. It would be ideal for our goods to be manufactured here, but we need workers who are conscientious and reliable. I can't even go through a drive through and get my order correct on the first try. Generally, I need to go back at least one time. If we are speaking of automobiles, I would own a foreign car before a domestic car any day. Give me a Audi over a Ford any day of the week. Come to think of it, one of my favorite cars is a Saab. Handles like a dream. Of course, some of the assembly process is done here in our country for some makes, but I have noticed a decrease in quality when that happens. If we could find Americans (not a minority of them, but the majority of them) who were truly committed to the jobs that they do, we would be able to manufacture more product here and I am sure Americans would be willing to pay for the quality. If the quality of a good from another country is better, I, as a consumer, am going to purchase that instead of one just because it has "Made In America" stamped on it.

 There it is. You get what you pay for.

Until you can't pay.
