Are you willing to pay for USA products?
I bought a new couch today that is high quality and 100% made in the USA. It's a Stickley, if you know the brand. They pay their workers well with full benefits. I could have bought a similar "looking" couch from Nebraska Furniture Mart for about 1/3 the price, but they sell crap.

There's also a clothing store in the KC area that sells jeans that are 100% USA made. The workers who fabricate the jeans from start to finish are well paid with full benefits. A pair costs $200.

Walmart recently said they're moving back to the Made in the USA when possible. That will be a rough road.

The question is: Do you support workers in the USA, or do you take advantage of cheap Asian labor?

If two products are sitting next to each other and one is American made and slightly more expensive than its foreign counterpart, but has similar quality, I don't mind paying a bit more.

But make me search harder for American made products and then **** me over at the register, no thanks.

Mostly price, but quality and some homerism exists, but this administration is making that mindset more difficult to fund.

Neither. I, generally, am not a price only buyer. If I can get quality for a better price without too much hassle then that's what I'll do.

Some high end or designer products are still be made in China. For instance Dooney & Bourke purses are made in the US, Mexico, Italy as well as China. I still paid nearly $300 for mine on sale.

I don't even look at "Made in _____" when I buy things. It's really inconsequential to my buying decisions.

If I could find products with a label that said "made in the USA by non-union labor" I'd buy that every time.

That goes without saying. Anyone who pays that for a pair of jeans is stupid.

Poll fail.

There is obviously a middle ground here. I am willing to pay a premium, but the premium I'm willing to pay depends on the product.

I think my biggest problem is that 'made in the USA', upon further inspection, often means 'made in Mexico'.

Still, yes... unless it's just an inferior product.
