We need to get back to our old policy of "Buy American"...and I know there are a lot of companies out there who need the business and could grow more if we would just stay in our own backyard....and yep, I know the lure of "cheap" everything, but.....

I don't understand how it can be cheaper to make the fabric in America, send it to China or Japan to be dyed and then send it back as I understand sometimes happens. I heard a lecture on it last Saturday. We need jobs here.
