Title: AIN'T IT THE TRUTH!!?
Post by: Heater on January 16, 2009, 02:42:57 AM: Although I no longer live in the US... when I saw this ...

Joe Smith started the day
early having set his
alarm
clock
(MADE IN JAPAN )
for 6am.
While his
coffeepot
(MADE IN CHINA )
was perking, he shaved with his
electric razor
(MADE IN HONG KONG ).
He put on a
dress shirt
(MADE IN SRI LANKA ),
designer jeans
(MADE IN SINGAPORE )
and
tennis shoes
(MADE IN KOREA )
After cooking his breakfast in his new
electric skillet
(MADE IN INDIA )
he sat down with his
calculator
(MADE IN MEXICO )
to see how much he could spend today.
After setting his
watch
(MADE IN TAIWAN )
to the
radio
(MADE IN INDIA )
he got in his
car
(MADE IN GERMANY )
filled it with
GAS
(from Saudi Arabia )
and continued his search
for a good paying American job.
At the end
of yet another
discouraging
and
fruitless day
checking his
Computer
(Made In Malaysia ),
Joe decided to relax for a while.
He put on his
sandals
(MADE IN BRAZIL )
poured himself a glass of
wine
(MADE IN FRANCE )
and turned on his
TV
(MADE IN INDONESIA ),
and then wondered
why he can't find
a good paying job
in the United States .

like clothes, leather products, furniture, etc. You may pay alittle more but I'm sure the quality is
higher.

Google "items no longer made in the US" and I will bet the list is quite a bit longer.

If it weren't for foreign ownership a great deal many more would be unemployed in the US.
