Thats to bad but,imo,thats what is going to happen,or is it already?Of course if 2 things cost the same or almost the same i will get the USA made because i know in most cases its better. Now is CD that much better then others,i dont think so.
Correct, but the worker does benefit. He/she has a job, however low paying it might be. If manufacturing was still done on a large scale in the U.S., salaries would rise. Foreign cheap labor has not proven to benefit the worker or the consumer, but only the importer and owner. Savings have not really been passed along to the U.S. consumer for most high end products. Look hard enough and you can find bargains made in USA (my custom bike was cheaper than any that I came across in my research)
