And just think Obama is negotiating, fast track no less, two more "free" trade agreements.

around the late 90s i read that a lot of clothing with a "made in usa" label is really made by non-us citizens working for very low wages in sweatshops in the northern mariana islands, a us territory in the pacific. is that still true today?

If you're not pro-union, you're anti-America. Get the hell out! Go to China.

This is so sad. Today virtually all of our clothing garments are made overseas and distributed to Target, WalMart, and Marshalls. The clothes are low quality, poor style, and not that cheap. I have an Old USA MADE Ocean Pacific Polo Short from the 80s which still fits me today and has kept its color. Each time I buy pants made overseas, they tear in a matter of months.

@amy4u100 I am not pro-union, but I agree, if you look you can get a lot of non-Chinese and a lot of US made stuff. The last two leather belts ($10/Target and $15/Old Navy) I purchased were US made and actually cheaper than the Chinese belts, (Usually about $20-$30for the Chinese belts). I paid $170 for a Swiss made Bosch Jig Saw, the Chinese-made Craftsman was $160 and inferior. The stuff is out there, but you have to hunt for it. And you can't rely on brand names anymore.

The republican party has been very successful at convincing their followers that "unions" are bad :( We need to remind people of what America was like prior to unions, which was the backbone of the middle class.
