Is that the best thing to do with one's savings though?
Go to Best Buy and buy a Tiawanese-made electronic of some sort?
Who does this really benefit?
A certain notion is beginning to take shape that unless a product is made in USA, buying it does not help the US economy. I hear that all time, often in reference to Walmart. We have to work with what we have. Most consumer goods are imported. Buying them surely will help someone here. What is accomplished by not buying if you have the money, and of course the need or want?
It actually wasn't meant as a rhetorical question, even though it looked like one.
Who exactly is helped buy running to Best Buy and buying a chinese DVD player? Take the need or want out of it and assume it's something I can easily do without.
