It is pointless to cling to a "only buy American" mentality. There is a lot of stuff still made in America, but you have to make an effort to locate/select it, your selection will be limited, and in all likelihood you will pay more for it. If you are adamant about buying American, then you will never buy another TV, cell phone, computer, or any piece of electronic equipment. You will never buy another new car, and good luck finding clothing made in the USA. There is a ton of other stuff you could add to the list.
Don't start blaming greedy CEO's, EPA regulations, NAFTA, government taxes and regulations, unions, or indifferent selfish consumers. All of these elements play into decisions producers, governments and consumers make. Depending on your personal experience and political bent you will comfortably select one of these groups and blame them for your woes.
The laws of economics are as inexorable as the law of gravity. If one chooses to remain ignorant of these principles, then you will always be a pawn in the hands of some interest or group. Make the choice. Learn how the world works, and what the future holds (I strongly recommend "The Underground Economist" by Tim Harford- a laymans great read), or just spend your time watching tv and complaining.
