I bought the first thing that I can remember in forever made in America this weekend. It was an Arrow T25 staple gun made in New Jersey. I looked at the shipping wrap and wondered if I should save that as a collectors item.
That is my greatest rant...wife hates to take me to the store anymore. I live 120 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. How in the heck can they farm raise shrimp in Vietnam, freeze it and fly it to Texas cheaper than we can produce it locally? I got to talking to some Vietnamese shrimpers in Rockport Tx. When you start with 500 gallon tanks of diesel at marina prices less road use tax you start out over a $1000 in the hole sailing out of port. Insurance, maintenance, licenses, etc. are out of sight. It's a wonder seafood isn't $500 a pound.

I fear made in the USA is going to get more scarce in the future. Costs are so high in this nation and I don't know of any way to reverse the trend.
