8. Fender, G&L, Musicman...

and one million americans work for german corporations in the USA, while we have 5 million unemployed people! Give us our jobs back!!!:-), no, keep them, who wants to work for Daimler?
Besides I think this "give us our jobs back" or "keep the jobs here" is a nationalist and right-winger discourse. This isn't the problem.
Greetings from Germany,

P.S. I heard that number (1 million) for the first time in my live today and was really surprised.

6. I have a pair of Calvin Klein jeans that say...

...Union made in the USA on a tag inside. But then, I have the exact same pair that were made in Mexico. So...the answer to your question is: MAYBE! :D

7. I Wear Carhartts Now

Made in Mexico with US denim. That's the closest I can find to American-made.
