The first partisan finger was pointed in post 8, and not at the right. Thus my amazed response. i agree that the damage was solidly bipartisan. cn

It was America's appeal for a globalized market back in the late 1970s and 80s, I remember it all too well.
Now look what we've got ourselves into. Given the choice, most consumers will opt for lower prices regardless of where the product is made.

Let me see you start up a company in America that pays union wages, while paying US taxes and operating under US regulations and compete with China while turning a profit my friend.

I blame the greed that Capitalism breeds that has this country fucked up.. I will gladly pay extra money for something that is built to last. The Old American way. You complain about Unions, but I guarantee they put out a much better product then our foreign partners. Give me a Boeing over Airbus any time of the day. The global appeal was to sell our product, but instead Corporations sold the rights to make our products yourself. and yup even Clinton had a hand in this mess... Now that we see it...Time to correct it.

You can use capitalism as your scapegoat all you want, but facts are facts, American consumers want lower prices!
American made union products are better! Is that why the Japanese and German auto makers have consistently produced a superior automobile and have kicked our union ass for thirty years or more.

And it wasn't "global appeal" it was opening up global trade and markets. When conservatives fought against a globalized market, liberals called them isolationists. Well the left got exactly what they asked for and now want to blame capitalism for the domestic market failure.

You liberals wanted to be so much like the socialist Europeans you so idolize, well, bask in it my friend, Obama care may be next.

I try to buy American made products. I even have a web site that has American made products only and still can buy American products. Most of the time a company will advertise that its American owned and after a little investigation the company is owned by an American corporation and outsources to another country. It is a shame that it is cheaper to pay a tariff, have it shipped here and it is still half the price and usually better made elsewhere.

It doesn't seem like Americans care about the quality anymore and we are just plain getting our ass kicked. It's a shame I try to buy American but end up with something made in China. Guess we all had better learn to speak Chinese.
