To this day, I still receive e-mails from overseas telling me how they can manufacture my product so much cheaper. I made the decision to be "American Made" early on because I realize the true results long term by going abroad.
I think most of us do realize the consequences but our own greed gets the better of us. Everyone else is doing it mentality, so I must too, to compete for every dollar and or save a dollar in my own pocket.
I'm afraid the chatter we hear is nothing more than lip service for the most part. It improves ratings and gets us all fired up but little else as far as I can see. $$$ out wins doing the right thing, most of the time, as our past demonstrates.
