Since America is "owned" by foreign countries we pay what ever they tell us to pay...it is disgusting! Seems to me that if we "help" other countries out they should say thanks by trading oil, fabric or something they have for our generosity. I love to give but at some point the USA should say enough is enough. We need our own country to get tough...prices of cotton going up...BARF. So glad I have a wonderful stash!
