I know in the long run a global economy and free trade and all that is supposed to be good for the world, but it sucks for us in the USA...
It is amazing when you start to pay attention to where things are made. If you (anyone reading this post) haven't done it yet, try looking the next time you go shopping. I first really started paying attention this Christmas when my sister-in-law made a request about toys because all of the recalls.

I was, however, pleasantly surprised to see two American made shoe companies out there this past week!
