Made in ???
Like many I watched an ABC news segment this morning examining a Dallas family home and removing all the goods NOT made in the USA. The house was bare at the end, just a small vase left.

In the 1960’s nearly 90% of the good typical American families purchased were made in the USA – now it less than 50%.
Its claimed that an increaseof 1%, on average just 18cents a day would create 200,000 new American jobs.


As a transplanted Brit I rememeber a UK campaign to buy British for similar reasons. It soon faded away. Can the US do better? There certainly seems to be a mood swing going on with every car ad claiming some sort of US link from Chevy ( I thought FIAT of Italy had bought them) defining the high ground with imported from Detroit through to BMW claiming the worlds supply of X3’s is made in the US.


Does anyone know what proportion of our food is made in China?
