Re: Made in America

I challenge you to give me an example of a FIRST component or part that is entirely made in the USA...

Andymark, VEX and nearly all other suppliers although they may say their product is made in the USA, the bearings, fasteners, gears, shafts-- component parts etc nearly always come from offshore. It is the only way for them to offer products that we can or are willing to pay for.

The reality of the world today is that we live in a global economy.

For those of you "buy domestic" types, you may need to rethink your choice of automobile. http://www.caranddriver.com/features...merica-feature
