Every single thing we buy, is made elsewhere...You might find this article interesting...
I will start checking...How about you?
You have to read the labels on everything.
A little time and effort beats permanent pessimism.

I've been buying American for years. It's hard, and some things you just can't get (electronics, mostly) but it
can be done.
The next step is to forgo the buying decision entirely unless there is a US-made product available. This is much more difficult, but with the exception of electronics I have been doing this for several years. Upsets the family a bit. Probably would upset some FReepers, too. Tough.
That said, there are a lot of "conservatives" that will have apoplectic fits over folks exercising their free-market rights not to trade with Most Favored Nation PR China.

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.
