I am guilty of being one that tries to buy domestically made products. It gets harder as the years progress. As hard as I have tried only 7 out of 12 of my components are made in the US. (Fortunately for me, my Maggies are made in Minnesota)
It was hard for me to handle the fact that even Craftsman is manufacturing tools in China. That was my mainstay of “Made in USA”.
Lexicon is coming out with a new processor. I believe it will be made in the US. But at over $10,000, it is beyond what I would be willing to spend. My point being that if you are willing to spend significantly more, you can get products NOT made in China. And you have to be diligent in doing so. But if bang for your buck is paramount, you won’t find it domestically made products.
The reality is, and this has been the case for years now, something can qualify and advertise as being "Made in the USA" or should I qualify that by saying it is "Assembled in the USA", however, if you open it up and look inside you will find most assuredly that the parts come from the "Far East".
