"I’ll buy American if the price is good..."

I'll buy American-made even if the price is not so "good" - because the people who made it are my neighbors, and because the quality is there.

Here's an example: Allen-Edmonds

Here's another: let's see your rice-burner do this!

#46.

Would someone explain this to me. “If it is primarily the “unions” that have caused the loss of American manufacturing to foreign countries, why was it that after NAFTA, the first jobs to go were located in rural America, notably shirt factories, textile mills, etc. that were NON UNION?. My town of 5,000, lost 1,000 shirt factory jobs to Mexico. These jobs were not much more than minimum wage, but they provided the 2nd income that helped sustain the family and the local economic base. I guess they were the type jobs that would be replaced by the “New Economy”. Only problem is, the “New Economy” seems to missing, or should I say, “Outsourced”?
