Apparently you know no families that clip coupons to get by.
Yes I do, I was asking a rhetorical question that went over some heads. There was an excellent thread/post that I should have bookmarked a while back that got into it a lot better than I could have. It was basically about the fact that we maybe saving money here and there, but if we buy less and less American made goods, and more Chinese/etc. made goods, in the long run it hurts everybody in some way (the thread got into the economics, how we'd pay higher taxes to cover the lost income/taxes from people losing their jobs, American companies going under, etc.).
I know there are plenty that have to buy/shop as cheaply as possible, I'm fortunate enough (and willing) to be able to pay a little bit more for something if I knew it was American made.
