American Made Products and/or Services Made in USA

I have jeans,T-shirts,button up shirts and boots made in the USA.

Thing is,people don't want to pay the extra few dollars...they would rather not have good paying jobs.

Amazing isn't it? They are lowering the standard of living in the USA by purchasing cheap crap as opposed to "Made in the USA" so that all they will ever be able to afford is cheap crap.

People will buy FOOD produced in China(a LOT of seafood in grocery stores is from there...supposedly 'wild caught'...),because it is cheaper.

I try to avoid the Chinese Junk but it is getting more difficult. I do like New Balance shoes, Lodge cast iron cookware, Winchester and Rugar firearms and Subaru and Buick cars. I am a fan of the "How it’s Made" show and have wondered where the huge presses used to make things like Webster grills and so much else are made.

Ugh, not me!
I try to buy locally sourced product as much as possible.
Support your local small farmers, people!

Not buying from china is a pain in the neck. However, I don't and haven't for years. Of course it means doing without. I went two years without tennis shoes until I got busy and found some that weren't made there. Right now I'm looking for some sandles to replace my 20 year old flip-flops and you wouldn't believe what I'm using for a car coffee cup.

So True! So much of what is produced here is merely assembled here with parts that are imported.

While Fender has a line that is made in Mexico the American line is still the best of quality and most sought after. Same with Gibson.

Fender® Products

Gibson Guitar: Electric, Acoustic and Bass Guitars, Baldwin Pianos

Mesa Boogie Vacuum Tube Guitar and Bass Amplifier

But I'll give the Brits a nod with their Marshall amps also.
