Made in the U.S.A.: What products are still American-made?

I AM 72 YEARS OLD, AND ALL MY LIFE THE STUFF MADE IN CHINA HAS BEEN LOW QUALITY JUNK OR CHEAP COPIES OF U.S. GOODS. WHY WOULD WE BELEIVE IT IS ANY DIFFERENT NOW? I HAVE ALWAYS SEARCHED FOR PRODUCTS WITH THE LABEL- "MADE IN THE U.S.A." RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE AMERICANS WITHOUT JOBS BECAUSE OF THE
GREEDY BASTARDS WHO SHIP THEIR WORK TO CHINA AND OTHER COUNTRIES. HOMES ARE BEING
FORECLOSED AT AN ALARMING RATE. THE BEST THING WE CAN DO IS TO STOP BUYING PRODUCTS
MADE IN CHINA, SINCE MOST OF YOUR PURCHASES ARE UN-NECESSARY ANYWAY. WE SHOULD ALL STICK TOGETHER AND DEMAND GOODS THAT ARE MADE IN AMERICA BY AMERICANS. I PREDICT THAT VERY SOON THERE WILL BE JUNKY CARS FROM CHINA, BEING SOLD IN
A DEALERSHIP NEAR YOU . WAKE UP AND BECOME LOYAL TO THE GOOD OLD U.S.A.
THE AMERICAN ADVOCATE

I am happy to find this site. I, too, have been concerned thta many American jobs are being lost to products made overseas I am especially concerned about products made in China because of the lead levels in toys, because Ii have two grandchildren who have lots of toys. I imagine a large proportion of them are manufactured in China for mAmerican companies. I am angry over the tainted foods that we havee imported from China for human and pet consumption. We must be more vigilant.

Another concern about any imprt of essential goods is that supplies can be interrupted or sabotaged for political reasons or because of war. That is the case with any country. Our core goods ought to be manufactured here in the United States! Only things we could do without if necessary should be imports. I realize this is not 100% possible, i.e., oil, but where we can do it, we need to do so. We also need to be concerned about American jobs.

Finally, I'm sick of technology being outsourced, along with so-called customer service. I am so annoyed when I get customer service, a isnomer if ever there was one, from people overseas whose first language is not English and whom I can barely understand. They often read from a script and are thrown for a loop if I ask a question not addressed on their script. Some are very patronizing to me because I am a woman. I even had one ask my husband's name when I caleld about a question I had with my then-new computer!

We must begin to address these issues. I have often wondered if it were possible to put a high exit fee on jobs and manufacturing that American companies outsource so that it would not be economically viable for them to take those jobs offshore so easily. Also, a high re-entry import tarriff on items by American companies such as Mattel could make overseas manufacturing less attractive.

Finally, I suggest that we pin down all of the presidential candidates on these issues to find out where they stand and how they plan to address our concerns. If we don't, there won't be enough American able to buy either domestic or imported goods!

Most apple juice has ingredients made in China. When you ask the juice companies if their juice comes from China, they don't answer or they give you a bunch of double-talk

CUTCO Cutlery, located in Olean, NY, has been making quality kitchen knives, garden tools, and sporting knives since 1949. These products also have a forever guarantee.

To the one who is sad about the possibility of Hershey moving offshore, I heard that rumor too. I suggest checking out your local chocolate factory or visit farmers markets and craft fairs where you'll find locals who produce their own honey, jams, candy and chocolate among other things. These places, though a bit pricey at times, tend to make their products with homegrown natural ingredients that are better for you and taste better because they're not pumped full of preservatives like Hersheys.

A very quiet company that has no 'celebrity' advertisements, and makes a large part of their products here in the USA is New Balance Shoe Company. While some cheaper shoes are imported, their top rated [like by Consumer Reports] sneakers and shoes are made here in the USA. They also have some that are assembled here in the USA-some parts are imported just because they are just not made here-but that is better than in some Chinese prison.

Whenever I can I buy 'Made In USA' and have even moved my family to check labels. My second choice is 'NAFTA' and US territories.

Wish our car manufacturers would get with it and make a good hybrid-what the heck good is a 15mpg gashog with a hybrid? How about a 50mpg car to compete with the Toyota Prius?

I try to purchase only items made in the USA but it is next to impossible. Sometime I purchase an item that says Made in USA whether or not I need it simply because it is such a rare and wonderful find. Sad, huh?

Our goverment talks about chemical warfare that could kill millions of people. By letting foreign countries make all of our products we are leaving ourselves wide open for this to happen. By the time the good old USA figures this one out it will be too late for us. Look at the ones that have already be affected by all of this. We are at the mercy of other countries.

While the Longaberger baskets are made in Dresden, Ohio, I have purchased pottery items that have a sticker on the bottom that says "made in China". Also, the way the article is written, it sounds like the agreement China signed is only for toys being exported to the United States. Is this correct?

Our little logging town of St. Maries, Id (pop. est. 2800) has a made in the USA company used worldwide. Peet Shoe Dyer has been developed and manufactured here since 1968. Loggers to sportsmen to NFL teams use this product. Recently, I saw a Walmart knock off from who knows what country and the quality is NOT backed like Peet's gaurantee. We also have a award winning wild rice that is packaged and distributed with another company out of Oregon. Made in the USA is out there, we unfortunately just have to look harder and be willing to put a little more cash out to support ourselves.

This is the only dishware I will buy, it is sturdy, colorful and goes with any decore. I love it.
Especially since it is 100% made in the USA, and totally lead free.

Have you been to Cabelas I have and all most all of their products are made in some other country.

Grandads Barnyard Swings have been made in Grandads Workshop in Ocoee, Florida for about 6 years. They are qualility handmade wooden glider swings that resemble barnyard animals. The children love them and when they get on they hate to get off. The best advantage is they can push themselves. No parent needed.

This makes me so happy, to see people finally starting something like this. My parents are in their 80's and have been watching labels all their lives. Just being disgusted not being able to find alot of American made products in their small town with the great big Walmart store. So sad..

i;ve lived to see the USA, give our stuff to other countries, and we take their inferior stuff in exchange.our factories went overseas and send the stuff back at three times the cost,we should notify them if you move out of the country, we will open our own factories and will not buy you stuff.
why can;t we do that instead of all this third class crap we;re forced to buy.someone said awhile back on the net we are one of the richest countries but have the most unhealthy people. why because you ship our food across the sea and we buy their fod with radio active stuff from bombs and all kinds of chemical tests. smarten up americans.lets put our foot down and make sure the next pres. does make a difference.
