Here in the Pacific NW the fruit farmers are suffering terribly due to the massive influx of South America fruit. I went to the "big city" today to do some shopping. In the shoe store I asked the guy helping me "are these shoes made in America"? He looked at me like I was speaking Greek. I asked again, where were the shoes made. He finally checked and said "Brazil". I said no thanks. I always ask, they always give me a funny look. We own a small manufacturing company, employs about 60 people. Believe me, made in USA in a big deal in our household.
If it's any consolation Willie Green, about 3 years ago we spent approx. 30K on new furniture, all made in North Carolina. Had to wait about 3 months for delivery but it was worth it.
