Wal-Mart, Home Depot - It’s made in China, China, China. Always cheap in quality too. I’m for free trade but not with China. I would support a 100% ban on any consumables from China - no food, vitamins, medicine, etc. They are becoming a critical supplier in our basic necessities and they are chicoms.

I shop at Wal-Mart maybe twice a week, and have no trouble finding non-Chinese products to buy. Ditto for Home Depot—in the past few weeks I’ve purchased plumbing equipment, a bbq, and lawn care equipment. (That’s not to say Chinese products are not sold at those establishments, just that one needs to be diligent).

Only because Americans, myself not included, buy their crap. It's a tough row to hoe, but believe it or not you can still find American made substitutes for cheap Chinese crap if you try hard enough.

Cheap stuff is rarely good and good stuff is rarely cheap.
