China! Surprise!

Somethings that are made in China might actually be worth the price.

   We had some candy canes & I checked and sure enough made in China. I tossed them awhile back but much of the dollar store candy is made in China. The last thing I am going to do is EAT something made their.
   Gotta agree with Cooter that if two comparable things are up for me to buy I will get the cheaper one. I have not seen a HUGE price difference like he uses but 25% seems common on Jeep rims.

I just bought an 02 Honda Accord,I know  ,but it was an older friends wifes car they bought new,super clean,runs awesome,great price and good MPG's.Bought a OEM style spoiler w/led brake light  from ebay for it for $79,came in yesterday,took it out of the box and was surprised how nice for the price it was,hardware,instructions,template.........and when I looked on one of the bottom pedastools......MADE IN USA !!!!!! I got a laugh out of that one,thought for sure would have ben made in China.

if that old..............

china just got done building the 3 rivers dam about 5-6 years ago, they now have the hydro-electric from that, they are the biggest consumer of coal 'cause they don't have an EPA to regulate it, oh yeah, and the smog from china coal burning flows this way, not to russia/europe

but of course big, bad USA is a monster and must pay for other nations to clean up their countries...........

If we can just get that minimum wage up to around $20 an hour and get everyone signed up in a union, Americans won't have to worry about competing for jobs... china will have them all.    

/sarcasm off

That one of the flag being made in china always pisses me off. The last one I bought had a label on it made in china.

[mauve66]

keep coming with those ideas, my wife's job at the welfare office is becoming more and more secure by the day

[Tilar]

lol, She's probably pretty safe with her job. I know states like Ohio now has more people on welfare than they have working. Last count I think there were 6 states like that.

Wondered how lone it would take.

[JB400]

Luckily, WalMart still sells the larger American flags, and they're still made here in the US.  Kinda dissappointed in my Craftsman wrenches that are made in China

You "know"?!  

This is Totally and completely debunked by several sources as not even remotely true, even if you include as "govt moochers" the retirees (who are mostly conservatives) who built this country and PAID for the SS and Medicaid "Welfare" they now receive.


On topic: My damn "America: Control" coffee mug was.... you guessed it. Made in China

2 business associates traveling in China in the last 4 months have both returned home with sever lung infections caused from the smog. One told me you could see the particles floating in the air!! One missed a month and the other only 3 weeks as the doctor put him on steroids! Not sure I want to go there!

I've got a 2ft x 4ft cloth American flag tacked to the ceiling in my garage above my Charger, I had to look long and hard to find one and yes it cost more than the m.i.c. versions. The Villains ( social club / car club ) guys and girls I knock around with needed to get some T shirts made, with the proviso that the shirts were made in the USA, as are our cars, only one supplier out of an exhaustive search here was able to supply what we wanted.
Have a look where your T's are made.
Troy's D.C ones are made in Honduras, which for me is close enough  


Where possible I try to support local industry and avoid the Chinese import products.

My sister has a uniform supply and clothing alteration business, guess where she is off to next week to get product sourced from, I am a bit disapointed but its the only way she could get volume and reasonable cost as the local suppliers just could not compete, custom labels made ( quality I might add too ) for 8c as opposed to $1.89
