 Zenith made the last TV manufactured in the U.S. 20 years ago.
 No more "The Quality Goes In Before The Name Goes On" slogan.
 But most brand-name companies today are owned by foreigners
 anyway - RCA, GE, Zenith, Packard-Bell, etc, etc.

 Today most of the production in is communist/red china, with
 half a dozen other countries pulling up the rear - Malaysia,
 Japan, Korea, Republic of (free) China, etc, etc.  It is
 nearly impossible to buy anything with a "Made in US" label.
 Coffee is now the #1 crop in Hawaii after pineapple production
 moved to the Philippines and Malaysia.

 Ditto with probably 75%+ of your clothing, light bulbs, and
 other household appliances and other goods.  We're leaning
 over and kissing a$$ with the commies in red china, and it's
 leading to record trade deficits of the American dollar.
