Agreed. I personally try to buy everything I can made in the USA. IF I have to buy clothes, I try to NOT buy them made in China.
I bought a Savage Arms 30-06 recently. Made in Springfield, MA. It came with a Bushnell scope. Which was defective. It was made in China. They sent me a new scope for free.
The problem is not just the manufacturing cost. I sell ice melting products. Like rock salt. Most of it comes from mines in New York state by American Rock Salt. However, almost all the Calcium Chloride or Magnesium Chloride is imported from China. There is no chemical company left that makes these products in the USA.
Probably because the process is toxic. If they make them here they can get sued by some employee decades later. So, it is better to make them somewhere else because of the liability.
