that's a union mentality not rooted in economics.  Buy the best product at the best price no matter where it's made is the only practice that makes sense.  If you only buy products made in the US, you remove the incentive for US manufacturers to build the best.  Yes, 7 million jobs were lost to China, but that's going to payoff big time moving forward.  Chinese represent a quarter of the world's population and they want what we want.  They just needed a spark to stimulate their capitalist animal spirits.
