Last week we had a freak microburst storm that tore my flag pole out of the ground and bent it up. So I went to Lowe's to buy a new one. On the box in big letters it read Flag Made In America. I should have known better. When I got home and assembled the pole and installed it in the ground, I noticed, in fine print on the back of the box, Made In China.
At least our nation's flag was manufactured in the right country.
As we all know, Obama is negotiating a new trade deal with Asia, called the TPP. It's all being done in secret. But some details are being leaked out. One thing I've read is that, under the deal, products will no longer need to be labeled with their country of origin.
I don't know how true that is, but I've read it in a number of places. If such a provision makes it to the final TPP draft, then we might as well be an economic colony of China.
