    You can't even buy Red Wings made here. They only have one model made in USA, all the rest in China.

    Shoes, Clothing The only thing that comes to mind made "In House" are pharmaceuticals.. We have no problem cranking out millions of pills annually. Shoes, i can't buy a pair of shoes that weren't made in China, Indonesia, Vietnam.

    Yes there are small companies here in the Good Ol U.S. of A. But there's no longer Buster brown shoes, Fruit of the Loom, U.S. Steel, Alcoa . From Start to Finish made 100% here.

    Before I retired from the USAF, I bought my last pairs of boots from Altama. After I retired, I got dress shoes for work made by Capps (http://uniform.usmadeshoes.com/) -- their oxfords and wingtips are excellent, only time I had a better fit was with custom-made shoes I had done in Korea. Looks like they only do black and brown now -- probably a good thing as their "cordovan" was an odd shade. You can still get some New Balance athletic shoes made in the US but they WILL cost more.

    And across the other ocean, we have the behind-closed-doors TTIP
    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-0...ks-prosecution
    On May 7th, Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten, or German Economic News, headlined, "USA planen mit TTIP Frontal-Angriff auf Gerichte in Europa” or “U.S. Plans Frontal Attack on Europe’s Courts via TTIP,” and reported that,America’s urgency to sign TTIP with Europe has solid reason: Megabanks must protect themselves from claims by European investors who allege that they were cheated during the debt crisis. … The U.S. Ambassador to Italy has now let the cat out of the bag on this — probably unintentionally.

    Heard this on NPR about New Balance going against the TPP. It's only a 3 1/2 minute segment but I found it interesting, and directly related to this thread. New Balance brought production back to US to try and win a military contract, then were shut down by corruption. Or that's the way they tell it.

    NB probably realized the people who accepted "monetary compensation" for making things happen faster. Were going to want more then NB was willing to pay.

    All these boots are American Made with American Materials. There's a couple more pages of American Assembled with imported material.s

    Davsel, You repeatedly expressed your concern and skepticism because Cruz's wife had loose ties with Goldman Sachs.

    How do you feel now that Trump's choice for his national finance chairman, Steven Mnuchin, is a hedge fund manager who spent 17 years at Goldman including being a partner? BTW, Mnuchin also spent time working for George Soros and has a LONG list of donations to dems.

    Trump also "loves debt" and says the nation will never default because we can just print more money.

    Both total opposite beliefs than the current political establish...oh wait...nope, that's more of the same BS.

    http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/09/politi...egy/index.html

    AND he picked Christy to lead the search for candidates to makeup Trump's cabinet.

    But hey, Trump says he's anti establishment, so let's just keep going with that no matter what his history is, what he says or who he surrounds himself with.

    Trump is about as anti-establishment as Hillary. Trump just added smoke-and-mirrors to the dog-and-pony show.

    BS!!!!! Go to the Fargin' store and read the FN labels in the shoes! WTF is everything I say wrong?? I don't give a s---t what the computer says, I looked firsthand for US made boots in the REDWING STORE not on a damn keyboard. They only had 2 models, ALL the rest were made in China.

    As for this Trump thread, the reality is that he will be the Repub candidate, so give up on the blah, blah, blah, the wahh, wahh, wahh, dry your tears and vote for him or not, and please just STFU. Stop your incessant whining. Cruz lost, GET OVER IT!!!!
