"Buy American." Is it even POSSIBLE?

Question

As a senior citizen on a fixed income I am forced to buy only those items that I can afford, but I'm disgusted with having to purchase Chinese-made CRAP.  
Wal-Mart has SOME USA-made items, I try to pick and choose.  Home Depot, Ace Hardware and most others are just as bad.  Saw blade for an "American" Black & Decker or Skilsaw?  Forget it.  Can't even find nuts, bolts or washers NOT made in China.  Furniture?  It'll cost you big....IF you can find it.
What are YOU doing about it?  
What can I do about it?...........Getting real tired of doing WITHOUT.
Is China paying enough tarriff/duty on their junk?  I doubt it.

Hey Big Nasty Ron! I guarantee that your country has the same dam people. This whining isn't an American thing. I guarantee that 9/10ths of your **** is made in the same f*king place as ours. You know where you can take your "you Americans" attitude.

Once you have introduced people to buying an equivalent service at a lower cost, they'll never revert back. The only way to buy American made items are to lawfully cut off all chinese products from importing and force Americans to open their wallets and spend a llittle more. 

I hope american military equipments are not made in china .

Tbh, you cant say you want cheap goods and not from china where the cheap goods are made. Its like the free range eggs to price situation, people say they want free range eggs, but cheaply, it doesn't work that way

You ***** and moan about things being made overseas, but you have plenty of time to whine about it on the internet. 

GET A JOB IN MANUFACTURING IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT.
