next time you buy a shovel at walmart and it breaks halfway thru the workday, ask yourself,
"Whatever happened to American made tools?"

I know a gardener that has been buying tools at garage sales for over 40 years. He only buys American made vintage. He has shovels and plenty of other tools made in the 20's and 30's that are still in excellent condition and work just fine. He has had to replace the handles on some, as the wood has eventually won out, but the metal heads on his hoes, rakes, etc. look and work as good as new.

You can translate that to appliances, autos, whatever.

Your traitorous politicians have sold you out.
