WTF. So I'am at my nephews first B-Day party. I start playing with the kids and the toys. I look under one of the toys "Made In China", I look under another and another and another same thing. Easily 85% of the toys "Made In China" [:(!]. I was furious. When are we going to stop importing this crap and supporting china! I have my wife look at everything she buys before she makes a purchase to avoid china crap. But like she says, it's hard, sometimes it's impossible, if your looking for something in particular. I think we have to start manufacturing more goods to sell.........MADE IN THE USA!! |
| We make nuclear powered aircraft carriers, F-16's and M1 Abrahms MBT ... we can get all the cheap plastic toys we want, whenever we want [;)]. Just kidding. There's not enough profit in them for an American company to remain interested in them, just like anything. We invent it, sell the heck out of it then pawn it off as the profits leave. |

Sorry to disappoint, but not everything on that Aircraft Carrier (or [u]any[/u] Navy vessel) is made in the good `ol U.S. of A. |

I am enfuriated(sp) everytime I look at any of my kids toys all I see is MIC. As your wife stated..., so has mine..., It's near impossible to buy kids stuff that isn't MIC. Mc D's is a MAJOR user of MIC stuff. Personally I refuse to eat there, Period. But the kids like the MIC Happy meals. HEY..., Mc D's or is it really MIC D's? |
