there are not too many matel toys made in china that are $5. Companies move to save on the production cost but do not pass it on to us consumers

Too bad the CEO's in the US don't share the same sence of responsibility as do China's. Our CEO's reward themselves for filing bankruptcy and screwing the employees.

Tiggergirlz73 says that the reason for outside manf. is because of high wages here but does dhe realize that if our stupid Gov. was not so concerned with being a World Leader and not trying to be the Police Force,Feed Bag ,and everything to everyone in the world we would not have the high taxes that make it so costly to do business here. We have given away more money to more countries than the rest of the developed nations combined. What did we get for it? We are the most despised country in the world.

Just want to point out that it is not the Businesses that set the need to manufacture in China, it is the consumers. A toy that sells for $5 that was manufactured in China would have to sell for $45 if manufactured in the US. Your average American consumer is not going to pay that! Americans want a higher percieved value than what they actually pay. Therefore if all Manufacturing were done in the US the sales would be extremely considerably lower and there would not be these millions of jobs available like some think because the volume of sales would be so low. It would actually take jobs away because the sales would not warrant so many retailers and mass merchants like Walmart or Target. I love America but the comments that I am reading here are very uneducated. Anyone who says we should do all our manufacturing in the US doesnt have a clue what that would do to our economy.

There is plenty made in the U.S., but it will cost more. Maybe that's a good thing because then people will have less cluttering up their homes and yards. We could afford to pay more for better things and have less. The prices on many things have gotten so rediculously low, that everyone can afford everything. Clothes, for instance, get marked 50% off as soon as they hit the racks in the better dept. stores, then before long they will be 75% off, then a special sale with an extra 30-50% off. Pretty soon the stores will be paying US to take the stuff!! And, these are name brands. I can buy nice clothes at the better dept. stores cheaper than Walmart!! You know that they are getting this stuff for practically nothing to be able to sell it that cheap. Kids have WAY too many toys because they are so cheap. A few well made American toys would be much better and much less work for parents trying to keep their homes picked up. I know I will only buy American made toys for my grands

They are sending the food they grow over and selling it to greedy americans so they can afford food raised in the USA. BEEF AND PORK and chickens. The usa now says they can't send their chickens to USA but can chickens to china for processing and sent back to USA for us to eat. pay shipping to and from china just to save a couple of pennys for processing. Raise-kill-freeze chicken in USA ship to china thaw out chicken cut it up refreeze send back to USA for us to eat.US farm report is a dreat show of course it comes on 5.00 am sunday morning. They also say only 4% of illegals work on farms.Another thing china has been caught doing is putting lables saying from other countrys NOT CHINA on food of the 3% of food we check from china a very high % is bad. I think thats way we only check 3% of import food so if we don't check it we won't find so much bad food ! china doesn't like it when gov. says their food is bad.
