1. So sad how few brands I recognize on the lists.

2. That may be, but take a closer look

I have now bought jeans from All American Clothing and Diamond Gusset Brand. Both under $50 and quality, style, and fit are first rate.

Some of the upper end shirts are out of my price range, but you can find selected styles/sizes sometimes on sale - try sierratradingpost.com.

Also, take a look at custommade.com for access to, well, custom made items, made to your specifications. Pricey, but you get what you want and you buy American.

There's no question that you have to make an effort, but buying American can be done, and without breaking the bank.

And for food, go to your local farmers' market or food co-op and buy local, in season. Many small farms have farm stalls. Buy there instead of at the grocery store.

9. Here is a particularly important made in America product: the Bionic Wrench which Sears outsourced!

..."outsourced" as in 'stole and outsourced'..


Wrench Inventor Claims Sears Stole His Idea, Took It to China - ABC News
(video of this report at link)

In the small town of Cabot, Pa., Dan Brown is the proud inventor of the Bionic Wrench, a product made solely in Pennsylvania.

His goal from day one was to make his invention in America.

This time last year, Brown's factory was buzzing, with his employees working overtime to fulfill holiday orders. With the help of Sears, Brown's company sold more than 200,000 wrenches at Christmas alone.

"Last year was a great year," Brown said. "We got ourselves on a commercial and Sears had us in stores. We were going crazy."

Brown says he agreed with Sears not to sell his bionic wrench to any other national chain such as Lowe's or Home Depot. Brown's company continued business this year but suddenly there was no deal from Sears for Christmas.
