Most of us are happy to oblige if we stumble over such a thing, but most of us want the best price, or the brand with the best reputation.... where it is made is not generally the first priority.
That was drummed out of us a long time ago.
I like Diane Sawyer, but her horse has seen better days, sadly.
I didn't make the 200,000 jobs claim and it frankly sounds inflated to me. I just was answering Barry's question. Like most proposals of this kind, it is very simplistic and the devil is in the details. I said the sales would produce additional REVENUE, the profit realized is indeterminite and would involve a great many variables including taxes, overhead, labor, shipping etc.
