The takeover has already happened but it is a acquisition, not a takeover. Things are SUPPOSED to remain the same.

See Economics 101.

Manufacturers don't have an agenda, other than to make a profit in order to stay in business. When that becomes impossible, they'll go out of business and more people will become unemployed.

It really is as simple as that.[/quote]

Yeah, I never took that...guess it shows.

:roll:

it's cheaper to buy at wally world than to even think of making things now.
Yes it IS cheaper ... but that's exactly what got us into the manuf. dilemma & trade deficits we are in NOW
I fear soon China /Asia will own us ALL and our grandkids will all be working for them !! :(

and I remember when I thought $7 yd at LQS was TOO much to pay!! I'll be sewing up all my stash now ... badly need to, anyway!

Our LQS owner said she receives a magazine for quilt shop owners which had an article in it (which she showed us) that the cost of cotton has really gone up in the past year, now the price of our fabric is starting to climb.

Due largely to the floods in Pakistan which wiped out a great deal of the cotton crop. Where are our Texas cotton fields and why aren't they producing what we need. We HAVE it!!

That is hard to take. I don't like the local chain fabric store but with their 50% off coupons maybe I can just double the fabric when I use it?

Or how about Connecting Threads? Or other online companies? Is it going up there too?
