Oh my, what have I done? I asked my mom for the book "A Year Without 'Made In China'" for Christmas and to be honest I am worried about reading it, what if this book inspires me not buy anything from China? How could we live in America without China? I have a one year old with lots of new plastic toys and I don't want to see the label, I know where they are from.
As long as I can remember I have always checked the label of items hoping for Made In The USA but most of the time I am disappointed or maybe that is why I get so excited when something is American made, because it seems so rare.
With the economy falling, American factories closings, thousands of unemployed, our bank accounts depleting, our retirement fund now empty, I can't help but wonder what if, just maybe, if more things were made in the USA would it be different? China is growing, their market is fine, and in my opinion they will as long as they have Americans depending on them.
Please know that I'm not against China and this has nothing to do with the trade markets - I don't even understand how that all works - I want to see as I read my new book if I could do the same as Sara Bongiorni and her family or not? Only time will tell.............
