Then how can it be explained that nearly everything I purchase is made just about everywhere except America?
I'm sorry that you feel that our manufacturing sector is in sad shape because your ping-pong balls are made in Taiwan.
But I still don't understand if our manufacturing base is so solid, why is it everything I purchase, or nearly everything, is not made here? I was actually referring to construction products, cars, TVs, radios, paint, furniture, computers, monitors, lawnmowers and you know, stuff like that. And no doubt ping pong balls too.
Where do you shop?
