Like Joe and Rog, I think the majority of us when given a choice of 'Made in the USA' v 'Made elsewhere' would take the US product!!!!
Good points Dave! Here in my little city, we used to be the largest producer of fish in the nation, now the gov't is so restrictive, perhaps to the point of over conservation, that now the fish served in this country is mostly harvested by foreign fleets! THEY can catch the same fish in our waters! OUR Fleets are forbidden to!
It's gone on all to long now and the EPA has become totally unapproachable and without any common sense.... It just seems "our" politicians want all the other countries to succeed while our citizens are set at a disadvantage from the start.
