So you are saying that it might be reality that more US made goods might actually be marketed as a result of this. I'm trying to figure this out. I'm no economist,thats for sure.

No, I'm saying there are very few consumer goods manufactured in the U.S. Obviously, subtlety escapes you.

Thanks for clarifying your point.I will agree,there are very few consumer goods made in this country.Some door to door salesmen knocked on my door yesterday.They were selling duffle bags,obviously made in china for 10.00. If they were made in the US,they would probobly be 50.00. how these companys can buy materials,pay labor costs,shipping,etc. and still sell for 10.00 amazes me.
