It's disgusting that American's think that they have to try to prove that other countries are building better products, I will come off the high horse on one thing, the Japanese do build some of the electronics better then we do.
That can attributed directly to the fact that we buy more of their electronics, making it so they have more funds to develop new technology faster then we can, if you'd just spend the money with companies that headquarters in this country, you might be surprised.
The Germans say that our cars are every bit as good as theirs, and then they say those spoiled, spoiled Americans don't even know what they have, you don't know how many times I have heard this from Germans.
You need to give your country a chance, you need to help your country produce the high quality goods that it's capable of, or the Germans are right, you are spoiled Americans, I have said for a long time that I blame the present economy on the people, as much as the government.
I give the people equal blame because the government isn't the ones driving American companies out of business, it's the people not buying American mad goods, you go to Wal Mart and buy things made in India; China; and any other place besides your country.
You don't get the best of both worlds, you either get the things that you buy cheap; or you get high quality products, but you do not get both, it's time to think American; be American; and buy American to help your country through the hard times it's in.
