  Why would anyone want to manufacture anything here?

[Bill in KS]

if you'll give me 1 hour of your time I'd love to show you american made lubricants and oils made from american pumped oil.  Plus it is the oldest american oil company in the US and family owned all this time.  Let me know a day and time in Oct or Nov and I will be there.  I know it is tough to tell if someone is serious or not via a message board.   I'm serious, very serious.

I got this E-Mail the other day about the same thing. Just sharing;
Did y'all see Diane Sawyer's special report?  They removed ALL items from a typical, middle class family's home that were not made in the USA .

There was hardly anything left besides the kitchen sink. Literally. During the special they showed truckloads of items - USA made - being brought in to replace everything and talked about how to find these  items and the difference in price etc..

It was interesting that Diane said if every American spent just $64 more than normal on USA made items this year, it would create something like
200,000 new jobs!

I WAS BUYING FOOD THE OTHER DAY AT WALMART and ON THE LABEL OF SOME PRODUCTS IT SAID 'FROM CHINA '

FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN 'FROM CHINA '

I WAS SHOCKED SO FOR A FEW MORE CENTS I BOUGHT THE LIBERTY GOLD BRAND OR THE DOLE SINCE IT'S FROM CALIF.

Are we Americans as dumb as we appear --- or --- is it that we just do not think. The Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets.

70% of Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese  should be suspended.

Why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?  DO IT YOURSELF, AMERICA !!

Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made in  China ' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong ), simply choose another  product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on  Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.

Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs, use real  ones and benefit some American farmer. Easter is just an example. The point  is do not wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and assume control on your own.

THINK ABOUT THIS: If 200 million Americans each refuse to buy just $20  of  Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our  favor...fast!!

Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning on  implementing this on Aug. 1st and continue it until Sept. 1st. That is only  one month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese for 1/12th of the  total, or 8%, of their American exports. Then they might have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it.

Remember, August 1st to Sept. 1st !!!!!!  START NOW.

Send this to everybody you know. Let's show them that we are Americans and  NOBODY can take us for granted.

If we can't live without cheap Chinese goods for one month out of our lives,  WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET!

Pass it on, America ....
Good Luck, M&C

Yea you do Paul blocks made with Mexican owned cement lol

Nope, made in Texas, owned by Texas Lehigh Cement in Buda, TX. Parent company in PA. If it's Mexican owned like Cemex, not that I'm aware of.

How about German owned Paul lol a friend of mine was a major player in Centex when they sold out to Heidelberg of Germany

Cars.com ranks the Toyota Camry as the most American made car, followed by the Honda Accord.  The Ford Escape is third.

I'm sure they mean "assembled" not made! LOL!

If you saw the lines of container trucks and rail cars at the Toyota Plant north of Jackson, MS daily you'd know all they are doing is assembling them there from all the foreign parts brought in by ship!

And no I ain't say'n none of the others are any better! (just that I laugh every time I drive by and see the sign that says Built with AMERICAN PRIDE! LOL! )

Just like Harley's  they are just assembled here from parts shipped in from overseas too!

Shows the Camry as 80% American content while the American Icon  Ford Mustang is only 65%.

Chrysler was on top with the Dodge Avenger and the Chrysler 300 except that it is 30% owned by Fiat.

I think it is just about impossible to buy anything that is 100% made in America with all American parts and labor.

Yep - Michael - it's just that simple - may take a few more minutes of our time - probably less time than whining about it though - same as people moaning about politics and keep re-electing the same dumb SOB's - Don't do it for only 30 days though - do it ALWAYS - once we all get in the habit of doing it we'll wonder why the heck we didn't do it before
