Re: Buy American (?)
I can manage without Shop Vac… but sad to know that SK Tool is owned by an off shore brand. You might find that our American car manufacturers are from overseas as well

Re: Buy American (?)
Many parts suppliers certainly are. Old line name brands mean little anymore, unless the product is 50+ years old.

We are living Atlas Shrugged.
The price for goods increases, labor demands more pay as the cost increases. Companies raise the cost to cover labor or close their doors. Upward spiral until a massive collapse.

Re: Buy American (?)
Excessive and often punitive federal, state, and local regulation, plus wildly excessive government spending, much of it non-productive and even counter-productive, make us less competitive in the global economy.
