I try to buy American when it is a quality item (e.g. Allen Edmond shoes).

I have old Lionel trains (made in the 20's) sitting on shelves that I could oil up and run even though they haven't been operated in twenty years or more. That's quality.

Primo > BGE.

Cost is the same, they do the same thing, so why not American made?

You will also (usually) get better support with American made products.

I don't really care....if everything is equal I will, but I'm going with whatever is best quality or value regardless of where it's from. I owned a Toyota and found out that it was actually made in Kentucky, I think sometimes people forget that country the company is headquartered=\=country where product is actually made

Vehicle wise, i stick to supporting Jeep/Dodge

Have family members who retired, worked there myself for 9 years, and not one of us have had a bad Dodge or Jeep vehicle.

Plus getting the discount is always nice, especially on the Jeeps.

I don't have a problem at all paying more for something made in the USA.

I buy American products when they offer the most compelling value to me.

Basically, I don't care where it is made. I want the best for the money.

I look at where things are made and don't care to buy items from China....
