Of course we all want to reduce out expenses, individuals and businesses alike. China can undercut prices of American made goods to the point our companies cannot compete. If we all would commit to buying American, it would be much better in so many ways. American manufacturers have to do their part, too. If there is way to cut costs to consumers without sacrificing quality,that would be a huge help. We seem to be trapped in an financial Catch 22that is destroying American manufacturing.rwvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10358120268110827188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6982924932060917225.post-19118641094487845142010-04-21T23:53:24.109-04:002010-04-21T23:53:24.109-04:00I can attest to the Chinese silver issue.

They have the word "reputation" in their name, and it shouldn't be a good one. I purchased 12 sets of necklaces and earrings a few years ago, and the silver outside wore off and I was so embarrassed. The company fails to respond. The silver is marked as 925 also, you must beware!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
