Made in America

I think we all want to support our American companies.

Here is a list of companies that are(supposedly) 100% made in America.

It's important to understand that made in America may include parts, material, and such, from other countries.

But, there's a difference between being "made" in America and being "assembled" in America.

Not really. Ford claims American made, and parts come from China and all over.

As long as it is a certain percentage put together in America, it can claim American made.

It's a lot to read, but it's interesting.

I think in today's day and age, having every component be made in America is a bit too much to expect. I think if I buy my yarn from Scotland, but knit the blanket here and sell it - it is made in America because I'm the one doing the work and selling the product.

Seems very sneaky most of the time. Like you will find a product that says "distributed by" some American company or packaged by but you dont' know where the actual product or food is from.

 Well, I actually like it if my candy and snacks are made somewhere in Europe.

Sure.  I just would just like to know where the food is made.  China, Europe, Mexico, Canada, etc.  Seems like there isn't much oversight anymore for Consumer's Rights.  We used to have that David Horowitz show back in the day.
