All else being equal, of course I would much rather "Buy American" than buy something made elsewhere. I HATE not even being given the choice anymore-Thank you, WallyWorld, for killing the local hardware store where you usually could buy "Cheap, better, or best"- Now you get Made in China crap or not at all...

Once upon a time Wal-Mart advertised that every product they sold was made in America. How quaint!

You aren't missing anything, but long lines, messy disorganized shelves and cashiers that look like they coundn't care less.
