Our economy is more international than anything. As others say, even "domestic" barnd labels don't mean anything. I once worked for US Customs and was amazed at countries of origin, duty amounts, etc. For example, a shirt sold as "made in Amercia" was largely produced overseas. The shirt came here in semi-finished state - sleeves separate from the body and even collar, everything sewn together here with bottons added, and it qualified as American because the labor and other costs exceeded the value of the imported goods.

Making purchase decisions based on factors other than quality and price distorts what's important. I wonder if GM would started producing better cars years ago if a big share of the junk they sell went loyal American buyers. On the other hand, Ford got the message a few years ago and now produce very competitive world cars.
