Well there's always my soapbox. But seriously, if I can convince some Buchananite protectionists to promote individual buy-American policies rather than government mandates, I will consider it a success.

BTW, the worst pair of shoes I owned were "Made in the USA," lasted three months (the sole came off the right shoe about halfway through a five-mile run), and cost about double what my made-in-China shoes I've worn the past 18 months did.
Bottom line: sell me crap once, I will *NOT* say "Thank you sir, may I have another" and buy a second time.

Due to destruction of well paying jobs, vast swaths of our population can no longer afford American made even if they want to. The have to shop in Wal-Mart and buy crap from China and other foreign goods
