It is more than Buy American, it is Hire Americans, and it is support American businesses.
I used that as an example to illustrate my point. Substitute paint brushes, notepads, or anything else.
Several years ago I bought a Chinese screw-cutting metal lathe. 7x10 from Harbor Freight. Cost me about $370, with a 20% discount, and not including sales tax. Would be about $450 today. The nearest US-made equivalent was $10,000.00 at the time.
I'd like to look closer at this example. Can you point us to links showing the screw-cutting metal lathe you bought and the comparable American made product? As you said, inquiring minds want to know.:)
Sterlite plastic containers are USA made. Most every thing on our Navy base Exchange is FOREIGN MADE. That has to change.
Don’t shop Happy Holiday stores this CHRISTmas. Avoid all anti-2nd Amendment places that you can.
Speak with your wallets. Just as we did Target and their men in ladies bathrooms idiocy. Cut the Sports cable if they continue to support the crappers.
Won’t it be fun to hear *MERRY CHRISTMAS* greetings from the White House, again.
To find good quality American-made machines like lathes, I suggest going to estate sales.
Many older folks used them with their home hobbies. But it can be very time consuming, going to *estate sales*. But they are out there.
That is why we need an impartial across the board import tariff of 20%. That should get the job done.
Most people do not buy lathes. Your anecdotal evidence is moot, pointless and stupid.
Old Student is obviously spreading Free Traitor™ agitprop.
