Levi's 501 Jeans use to be Made in USA, but most production of these pants moved to Mexico & Guatemala as of 2001.

2005	Maytag became the subject of a takeover battle between a private investment group in the United States. (Ripplewood), a three party group comprised of Blackstone, Baird and Haier Corporation, a Chinese appliance manufacturer, and the Whirlpool Corporation.

2006	On March 31, Whirlpool Corp. completed its acquisition of Maytag and began integrating the two appliance companies.
2007	Clay Earl Jackson becomes the new Maytag repairman featured in advertising campaigns. During this year, Maytag also celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Pastime washing machine by releasing the Centennial Washer and Dryer pair.

Every day, HUGE ships from China pull into American ports loaded with goods bound for American retailers.  And every day those ships return to China absolutely empty.  I could probably be a little more forgiving if the trade were a little more balanced.  But foreign marketers only take our money, not our goods.

The only things they are buying from us are our companies and our real estate.

Worried about American jobs?  Think twice before using the self scanning checkout at the grocery or sliding your card into the gas pump instead of going into the store.  Every time you self-serve, another cashier's hours get cut.
