to that same Chinese made American flag? My heart swells with pride when I see states like Michigan suffering under the free trade agreements that have stricken that state like no other. How great can our country be when we don't even support our own workers any longer? Cheap labor for larger profits is the new theme. If we can't afford to pay Americans for an honest day's labor, we should just fold up shop and sell ourselves to the Chinese. Oh, that's right, we are already. More toxic toys anyone? Christmas is around the corner. Don't forget to support your local communist country, buy Chinese.

Hence my question:
Won't it be the height of irony if we end up jumping the border to Mexico to work in factories (that should have stayed in the USA) for cheap wages when the dollar plummets?

You might be waving a Chinese flag if Giuliani or Mitt Romney win

I think they outlawed foreign made American flags. Not sure though.
ROSEMOUNT, Minn. - What’s red, white and blue — and made in China? A move is on in state legislatures to ensure that the flags folks will be flying and buying this Independence Day were made on this fruited plain.
Minnesota has passed the strongest measure, a new law that goes into effect at year’s end requiring every Old Glory sold in state stores to be domestically produced. Violations are a misdemeanor, punishable by up to a $1,000 fine and 90 days in jail.

My wife works in a cable factory which just recently was sold to a Chinese firm.
Now they've change her job so if she leaves it will be on her own doing and they won't have to pay a dime. At the present time she sees people who have been there for 30 years get their pink slips and you guess it all the jobs are going to China.
There is one humorous note to all this- they've set at least three deadlines that I know of and the work keeps coming back because the Chinese don't know how do it or they screw it up

No, I have not.
I don't need to wave a Chinese made American flag, or wear a flag pin to show my patriotism.
As for China, we shouldn't trade with them until they shape up and reform their communistic system. Chinese goods are cheap, and of a low quality.
