iPhones, SmartPhones and e-Readers, why not made in the USA?
I'm just wondering --and this is a white elephant topic--but they're all made in China. Why? Shouldn't we be supporting the USA more than ever? Everyone is buying these things (and the iPad) and none of them are made in the USA.
Further, yeah it's great that these wonderful engineers and stuff are designing these things but why can't they hire a manufacturer in the USA and let them get built here by people who aren't engineers and who just want to be in a SKILLED technical and/or manufacturing job? We have top notch facilities and we have good labor and environmental laws.
Ok lastly: does anyone know of any SmartPhones and e-Readers which ARE actually made here in the USA because I would buy one just to stick it to who ever company is not hiring US workers so my fellow Americans can pay their US bills with our US incomes. Let them stay in their houses and keep their jobs.
I know it's "cheaper" to make in China but why not in the USA? Why not give some jobs around here? "It's cheaper" is bankrupting my country so really why not? What if we don't buy anything that isn't made here?

Almost every tech product is made outside the U.S. (phones, computers, tvs). It might be assembled here, but all the tech parts are from Taiwan, China, etc.... .it's sad but thats what the U.S. has become.
