A Global Economy indeed! Several years ago, one of the largest textile manufacturers tried to peddle a "buy American" guilt trip on the national media. I happened to be in one of their large mills the same month and found NOTHING BUT foreign textile machinery being used. They simply had to use the other guys equipment if they wanted to stay competitive. I have come to believe that to "buy American" should really mean that you, more than any other citizen on earth, can buy whatever you want to. As long as we are truly free, we will create new jobs, ideas, and industry faster than we can let the obsolete ones slide past our borders.
