Sorry, if reality sucks. I was working in factory orders at that time. We had a group of American companies that we tried to promote as a made in America group. They couldn’t hold on. Their costs had to be made up by price. The Chinese had their government covering their costs and didn’t need to make a profit. Not finding made in America products in-store was an effect that was downstream of where the problem was.
BTW -Ross Perot was a Dem plant.
Right, so it wasn't "customers clamoring for Chenesium *over* American. It was dumping by the Chinese to drive competition out.
