Let's face it guys, we're international whether or not we like it.

Now for the folks that like to whine (not you but someone reading this will be a whiner):

Everything that I have read about our domestic steel problem had to do with outdated factories with outdated equipment that couldn't compete cause it was inefficient. These factories were booming in the '50's. That was their hay day. That's when they were leading edge technology.

We have new steel mills here as competetive as anywhere turning out the finest steel in the world. They're not as big as USS was but everything is better INCLUDING WORKING CONDITIONS.

Automobiles are built all over the place. I buy American and they may be assembled in Tenn, or Canada, or Mexico with parts coming from all over.

Seems we forget that the foreigners have plants over here too: Mercedes and Japanese to name a few that pay American Taxes, consume American consumables, and pay salaries to American workers.

So it ain't all that bad.

Enjoy the low prices while you can. One day China and Mexico will be on the same wage scale as the US and Japan and the super deluxe color TV with flat screen, remote control, and stereo and all that stuff for $237 will be no more.
