My 2004 Toyota Sienna was built in Indiana. Very well built. I took delivery in December, 2003. With my 7k cross country trip last summer, I'm just at 84K miles.

Your Sienna---what did those non-union workers do with the cash they earned? "Waste it" on their mortgages, or food? (No offense Rick, really.)

Made in America - is one very long continent - stretches from Antartica to North pole.
Made in USA is another ball of wax.

I remember going to one of the first Walmarts in our State. It was back in 1987 and there were stickers and signs everywhere that said made in the USA. They spent a lot of time and money making sure the customer knew that.
You would probably be hard pressed to find something made in the USA in a Walmart now.
We Americans need to share some of the blame. People want as much stuff as they can get and as cheap as they can get it....

I was in a Harbor Freight the other day and couldn't help but think how much better off our country would be if all those tools were made in the USA instead of China and India.

And how many of the employees were made in the USA? I don't mean to imply that immigrants shouldn't get work. Point is that, in most areas a non-management job at W-mart will get you just above poverty level.
