I want my American made stuff back PLEASE :flagwaver: I have nothing against chinese people, I just don't like their consumer products 1 I oda

It has NOTHING to do with being made in America or China. It has EVERYTHING to do with the management structure of the company. Companies want to make the highest possible profit. If that means making a cheap product so you have to buy a new one every 5 years..so be it...Where is the cheapest place we can make this product....US or China...Which ever is the cheapest...That's MANY companies philosophy.

Jack Welch (ex ECO or GE) had a philosophy of....Keep upper management here in the US and move everything else off-shore. Seems that more and more companies are following that philosophy.
