<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1638267, member: 26302&quot;]Anyone blaming anyone but the American CONSUMER has their head in the sand. It is the CONSUMER who demanded cheaper goods, and bought something made in China that was a nickel cheaper. To blame the retailers or manufacturers for this is preposterous. I grew up in an era where both made in the USA and made in China were both available, and guess what? The cheaper Made in China outsold the US made goods. </p><p><br /></p><p>What were the corporations supposed to do? Lose money for their shareholders, or lose market share and go bankrupt if they kept manufacturing in the US. There is NO WAY a US manufacturer was going to stay in business manufacturing in the US, NONE. Either they started manufacturing the products in cheaper countries to keep their prices low, (as the US consumer was demanding), or simply sell higher priced goods and go bankrupt. </p><p><br /></p><p>Either way, those US jobs were gone because of what the US Consumer DEMANDED. If you want to go on a rant on why they shouldn&#039;t, they should buy US, yada yada, go ahead, but the facts are the facts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
