What's your solution?
Shop and buy locally. The largest importer of goods from China is WalMart. Don't patronize them at all. Americans have the power to stop jobs from leaving. Just say no to the imported crap.
What crap that people need and buy from WalMart everyday is even made in the USA? I paid 160.00 for a pair of steel toed boots, made in china.
You could have gone to Berey bros and bought a pair of American made work boots for less than that. I bought a pair of composite toe Thorogood boots for about $120. Great boots, very comfortable. Berey Bros. also sells Wig Wam socks. They are the most durable,comfortable work socks I've ever worn. Another store that specializes in American clothing is Poe and Sons,6036 Lute Rd, Portage, IN 46368.American made clothing is better quality and lasts longer than the cheap imported crap. The US manufactures more goods than any other country in the world, despite what they try to tell us in the media. There is only one reason why our jobs are being outsourced and that is because too many Americans are willing to buy the cheap crap coming out of China because like you, they don't believe they have a choice.Here is a link for Thorogood Boots. They are an employee owned company located in Wisconsin that has been making boots since 1892.
