It’s made me finally stop & check the labels of everything I buy. I was looking for pet treats the other day - probably 90% of them were made in China. I found one that proudly displayed the American flag, and was labeled “Made in the USA”.

I’m tired of this crap - we conservatives have proven that we can organize and accomplish things - let’s have a China boycott. Our government won’t do anything about it - it’s time for the people to take this problem on themselves.

Can’t trust the American flag. Those “Support Our Troops” car magnets you used to see everywhere with the flag and yellow ribbon? Made in china. I wanted one but couldn’t have it because of my own personal boycott. I went into Garden Ridge the other day — everything made in china. Walked out empty handed. Same thing at Ross. Wal-mart often provides an American alternative at least.

Be sure to read very carefully. Sometimes they say "Made [or assembled] in the USA out of foreign & domestic contents." or something to that extent.

You need to change the people in our government, if you want to succeed. The have legislated, effectively, that China is the manufacturing superpower for the world. They did it with ‘free trade’ agreements, the USTR and the WTO.

You have to fire all the corrupt politicians who took ‘trade’ jaunts to China with our manufacturers and created legislation that paid them to move offshore. You have to fire all the corrupt politicians whose financial stake in China is so great that they would create laws to promote the Chinese economy so as to increase the value of their investments there.

You will have to fire a LOT of politicians and elect loyal Americans who will stand for Constitutional government in their place. Only then, will you prevail over this economic nightmare.
