Every single thing we buy, is made elsewhere...

The ten boxes of Sylvania 4 pack light bulbs I purchased the other day (I'm stocking up before they're no longer available) are made in the US.

Rank hyperbole isn't helping your cause, CNN.

My cause is America. I also find it encouraging when I buy a product made in the USA. My last several sported the names “Zippo” and “Buck”. But let’s face facts and be realistic as we buy American?

Don’t deceive yourself into believing the fact you have found a single product - US made lightbulbs (which won’t be made for very much longer, at which point imported CFL’s will replace them) is evidence we are a manufacturing nation. That just isn’t so any longer.

Sending our jobs to China, certainly is not helping America, and only makes China a more formidable adversary by the day.

It is folly, and it is BAD FOR AMERICA.

We have avoided dealing headlong with this problem for too long. Now we are seeing the inevitable result.

There’s no longer any question “free trade” as currently practiced - is devastating America... and:

Isn’t working. We need a new approach. One good for America first.

There is no “free trade”.

We are already in a trade war! Problem is: We are not fighting back!

What is happening now is that “free trade” American (erstwhile) conservatives, have become the modern-day US equivalent, of Vichy French.

Ready willing and even enthusiastic to sell out their own nation.

I don’t get it.
