MADE IN AMERICA

This is a link to another ABC News video about a builder fed up with Chinese quality and trying to buy American. He built a house completely made of American made goods. The job implications for Americans are enormous and something we should all consider in our own lives for our remodel and repair projects.

very cool steve, on a side note i like that menards has american made sales, too bad other retailers arnt jumping on this idea yet.

I like that Steve when my garage burned down in Sept i bought all I could that was made in America

I’ve also been following this on the Evening News also. Totally support. Haven’t had much chance to look at fishing equipment made is USA. Going to be replacing some rods and reels in spring. Will be looking for made in USA first.

If you try to find rods made in America with American made blanks and components…it will be a very thin group outside of custom builders.

I know St Croix makes their own blanks and handles but I believe the guides, reel seats, are imported. That would be an interesting research project…

Here is another one

I am glad were finally waking up,the CEO of big corporations are making a quick buck destroying companies and our country,I still havent figured out why we pay them millions to sell off the assets of a company and outsource cheap junk,it takes no skill in my opinion.

ST Croix and Polaris are 2 more companies building some stuff in Mexico,dont buy there Mexican stuff,I will buy there American made stuff.Vote with your wallet.

BUY AMERICAN our lively hood depends on it.

Careful guys. If we stop paying for Chinese products, they might come demanding our government pay their debt to them.

Or we could just give them California and call it even.

Thanks for the link Steve. I worked on a job for the Government and they wanted us to use American made everything. It was impossible to find fasteners (screws, nails, bolts, etc. that were made in America.

But as a contractor, I will do my best to use these products whenever I can

Ya know something else is if we had a list where everybody could see where the top 500 products, thats used the most often come from, it would probably be mind blowing. All in the name of making big profits. Its no wonder most of our steel mills that were running in the 60’s aren’t there anymore. Wheres the steel come from that used in autos and heavy equipment and machinery. Your thread Steve really makes me wonder where everythings coming from now, I thought maybe 50% at worst was being shipped in, now I can see in alot of industries its almost total imports, its got me wondering now how bad it really is.

I do remember seeing a report about 10-15 years ago that our government then made it possible for the Japanese to bring floating sawmills on big freighters and set up off the coast of Oregan. They bought thier logs here, sawed them into lumber plus made other roducts and then sold the products back to America as sawn lumber, plywood and other products. Its no wonder the logging industry had problems with this kind of selling out of American jobs. Its too bad there isn’t a website where you could go to too find out whos products are made where befor we buy. A website named Made In America Products.

I went to the internet and asked is there a list of companies that make and sell only Products made in America.

I got a big list of links to go too that only sell american made products. Type in,,,American made resource guide,,, and theres a good place to begin.
