Buying American
Andy said: People want quality goods for a cheaper price.
Chinese furniture are "quality goods"? I'm not so sure about that one.
People buy what they can afford. 300 more former workers in Surry County can now afford even less and will buy even more cheap Chinese goods from Rooms To Go, Wal-Mart, etc. Who's really getting the bargain here? Retail and manufacturing execs buying dirt cheap goods from foreign suppliers to sell to the same working class that they helped make jobless.
I'm sure if Americans would start buying American, then Wal-Mart would start selling it; it's supply & demand.
To start buying American, folks like Wal-Mart and Rooms To Go are going to need to make it available to their customers. Where can customers find affordable, good quality American furniture these days? We're slitting our own throats. Like I said, we can only work retail and sell Chinese goods to each other for so long.
