Of course! I'm a supporter of globalization. Besides that, the US is lousy at certain things. My favorite wines and coffees come from outside the country, for one... my Japanese car was made in Canada. I buy local produce, but everything else is fair game. Best product and lowest price wins out every time.

Yes. Largely because I'm English.

yes, I try to support canadian companies as much as possible. But I do buy the occasional american made good.
by dea_ex_machina on February 25th, 2009
Yes - I am finding it hard to think of anything that I have bought that was made in US

Mankind has traded goods as long as there have been separate societies...which has been for tens of thousands of years.

Yes, I do. I've had to send to Australia and New Zealand for things I couldn't find here.
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on February 26th, 2009
Yes. It would be very difficult to buy what I want that is only made in the USA.

I buy products many anywhere, as long as they are not recaled and I don't buy animal food of certain kinds that are made out of the US because of the products sold that were bad and had things wrong with them.
by RC loves ice cream on February 25th, 2009
Most products I buy are not made in the US. Then again I'm not in the US myself :)

I buy the products I need at the best prices I can find. I don't consider where they are made before buying.

Isn't the real problem here the fact that we would rather purchase goods made in other countries that have a lower wage schedule so that we can afford to buy more? I have often been at a store with the intent on buying a specific item and was presented with a choice where the USA made item was significantly higher in price but there was no real difference in quality. The price probably reflects the higher wage costs that went into the production of the item in this country, and so I was chose the lower cost item. In other words, I sold out the american worker for my own bottom line. As we continue to raise the wage here, I am sure the problem will only get worse. Other countries have no problem underpaying their workers. We are fast becoming consumers, not producers. It is a shame...
