I really do not any reason for a person to say they will only buy items made in the USA. We export products. We expect other countries to buy our products.
Yes, we import more than we export. Americans like to save money. The cost of labor is high in the US and low in Mexico, Pakistan, and China. Corporations are taxed in the US so they send manufacturing out of the country.
Would you rather pay $$$$ for an American made item or $ for the same quality item made in El Salvador?
Me - I will take the less expensive.
