    Buying American made supports American jobs........I try to do it when I can but, unfortunately, we don't always have the choice.

    I try to buy American, but it's hard with clothes. I actively try to avoid China made, but again it's hard. I don't have anything against the Chinese really, it's cheap, poorly made crap I don't like.

    I always try to buy american made goods - or even locally made ones if possible...but it's certainly not always practical.

    I think that for me, 'made in China' is part of the decision-making process. If I see that label and it's an item I can do without, then I skip it. Similarly, if I have two equally qualified items from which to choose and one is made in China, I'll pick the other one. I am willing to pay more for items made in the US, but the option isn't always there, so we have to do the best we can with what we have available to us.
