That's why this thread is a little different than most "Made in.." topics, I'm not proposing a futile boycott on foreign goods, just asking for those rare occurrences with common goods that are at least partially made here.

And that's spelled "Camaro", there's no E just like there's no G in Cummins. Your example of domestic cars is flacid as they all have "Made in XYZ Country" stickers/placards where it's pretty obvious they're not made here.

Clearly not everything "MITUSA" is 100% produced and made here, especially those rubber boots I got. But they're closer to home than the pair sitting next to them that said "Made in China". When it has a "Made in the U.S.A." sticker/logo/placard, it just means that at least some of it was manufactured/assembled/processed/et cetera by some skilled labor here. Again, this is not a boycott on all foreign goods, please actually read more than the subject line.

I can say right now 100% of electronics is out of the question. we produce very little to no electronics components here other than design.

what about domestic beer?

found one. THE SLINKY!

There are a lot of quality products "Made in the U.S.A." but the material content is questionable.

What countries are the sources?
If it says "MADE IN AMERICA" on the product, then it's good enough for this thread dammit.

We Americans make the money that the Chinese use to manufacture the raw materials that they send to America for final assembly. So what now?

Yea this is a tough one not too much that you can say is actually "made" in U.S.A. Even now with the boxed beef, pork, and lamb there is a label on the pkgs that say product of U.S, Canada, or Mexico. So even down to the basic meat we eat for dinner isnt may not even be produced in the U.S.A. Its most likely processed in the good ol but even at that

All the leather I work with is made here. Olathe boots, Whites boots and the beef I eat is produced locally too.
