Buy American, read the labels

I went shopping for a new pillow today. I was tempted to buy the most expensive one, but I couldn't find out where it was manufactured. Beauty Rest is an American product, right? Not any more. I looked and looked for anything on the package that would tell me where it came from. Finally, I opened the package, and read the label sewn to the pillow. "Hecho en Chine" is Spanish for "made in China". What's wrong with that picture?
So I opted for a less expensive pillow; one that proudly said "Made in America by American workers." I wish all products would be that proud.
I've been surprised several times that American products cost less than the imported ones. Sometimes it costs a few pennies more, but I buy it anyway. I figure if I don't, there won't be enough tax payers, and I'll end up paying for it in taxes any way.
So read the labels when you shop. You might find something surprising on the label.
