Corporate media... Rich people paying rich people, to tell middle-class and poor people to blame each other... It's fascismtastic!!! :) Ever wonder how Germany maintains the world's second largest trade SURPLUS, AND how they've become the banker to some of their western and southern neighbors, despite their workforce being 85% unionized, in both the public AND private sectors... Ever wonder why you don't hear about punitive "austerity" measures in countries like Germany or Norway? For a lot of the same reasons you don't hear about them in Massachusetts and Vermont...

As if books, videos, etc. weren't enough, now it's over priced jeans. Wake Up America - These guy's just want your money and will say or do anything to get it. You can't listen to their shows without a sales pitch on every segment. Just another way for the right wing nut jobs to soak the public with over priced garbage.

Not a lot, but they do exist. I'd encourage anyone turned off by the price tag here to check them out. http://www.americansworking.com/clothingjeans.html I don’t mean to burst your bubble, Glenn, but there are American-made jean companies.

Make that same iPad here in the US, an identical product, they'd have to sell it at $4000 to make anywhere near a profit, and at that price point they wouldn't see anywhere near the 85,000,000 of them they have.    And you have hit exactly upon the biggest problem with buying ‘Made in USA’…the costs to do so are huge.
