I started checking several years ago to see where things are made and surprising to find that lots of things we wouldn't begin to think are made in China. Even on some can goods ( not off brands either) in the regular large grocery store chains so much is grown and shipped from China I needed some lip stick and couldn't see the label so asked the clerk to read it and it said packaged and shipped from China this was a popular brand that I had worn for years. Womens personal items should be checked to see where they are made was very surprised to find that out. I recently bought a Platex Bra, wore that brand for years, bought at one of our large dept. stores, Jack read the label made in China, it went back.

I really wish our country would get back to producing more in our country and not relying on other countries to provide things we need and want. The more production in our own country the better it will be in the long run, even though we would pay more we would be putting people to work and at the same time putting PRIDE back into the United States, which I feel so sadly has been lost. All this is my opinion.

I also was disapointed in seeing that one of the department stores in our area also stocks things made from Viet Nam and I refuse to buy those items in clothing even though I really liked them.

I have purchased clothing for our girls from some of the ladies here in YT this past year, so really haven't gotten any from Wal Mart, and oh my gosh some of those that sew here are so reasonable, and do beautiful work.

I did just order the play yards from Wal Mart off the internet store and yes, happy to say they are made in the good ole USA and the price was great.

Didn't mean to type all this but I get vocal on this subject of trade with China, what do we produce in our country to ship else where in the world?
