you may want to pay a little more but this is not what americans what to do. Look at wal mart on friday. something like 5.1 billion dollars .. equal to something like $5. for every american in America. in one day! where is all the stuff made.. CHINA

I believe the long lines at stores this Friday is an example of Americans very aware of price. Never have i seen photos of people up at 4am in long lines to get into stores by 5am or 6am in prior black Friday sales.. To me price is the over whelming factor in purchases this Christmas.
Expect to the walmarts, and other big discounts do very well.

Jobs will always be an issue, shoe manufactures, tanners, wool mills, service centers, etc been going to cheaper countries for decades..
