I like many others try to buy american whenever possible but it aint easy. ITs ridiculous at my work at a textile rental company... About 10 years ago 90% of all the stuff we rented was made in the US. We rent table linens and uniforms. Now nothing, NOTHING is made here. The cotton is often grown in the US bought by the chinese and shipped back over here. Pakistan makes about 75% of the polyester linens. Zero quality control. Child labor, no OSHA, unions, insurance, makes it damn near impossible to make the stuff over here now. Not trying to highjack the thread but if we had government paid health care i would think that more jobs could be created and more goods made here. I know there is a lot that goes into it and its not that simple but anything that would help should be looked into.

Everything is better on the rocks.
