| What should really be bothering us is that important things like US passports and such being made overseas. I was watching CNN last night where they talked about a huge batch of bad drugs that came from China and killed a whole bunch of people here..... but there's been no discussion of a recall and no one is doing much more than standing around saying... wtf.

They were all about BUY AMERICAN when they were making money selling American but once they realized they could save a shitload of money that would ultimately go into their pockets, then it didn't matter so much where the stuff was made, and the jobs that were lost when those factories closed and moved overseas was touted as being jobs Americans wouldn't want anyway and so on.
The entire situation is shameful and buying cheap toilet paper from Walmart isn't worth the ramifications. I fear it might be too late to do much about it though.
