Buy American or The Best Available?

I'm with BB...if all is equal I buy American, if not I buy the best.

One would hope that when puirchasing equipment for the troops, the only consideration would be quality.

One would hope

That might make a good thread. Everyone finish the sentence:

"One would hope..."

"One would hope that all restaurant employees would wash their hands after using the bathroom."

"One would hope that the surgeon performing one's triple bypass hasn't been up taking crank for ten days."

Etc, Etc.

It is amazing how many guys in my office just go stright out the door after peeing. Then you see them at a b-day party, or office shower with their hands in some dip or chips. GROSS!!!!!

At one point I decided to buy all Made In US but its much harder then one would think. I finally gave up after a couple of weeks. As for this case you go with the best product period.

I used to be a "Buy American ONLY" type person. But then I put down the flag and started looking out for my best interests.

BTW, should Japanese people buy only Japanese products? Or don't we want them to buy American products too?

Best available, I don't care where it's made.

I'd imagine most people don't even know where a lot of the stuff they own is made.
