Jerry-I hear you. I looked at a pair of Levis and they were made in Bangladesch, another pair in Mexico. The Carharts were made in the USA.

At least my guns were made in the USA and my ammo is USA made as it's reloaded

Richard, even though your Carharts are made in USA, they cost six times what they did before the yuppies discovered them. Somehow, that money is getting to China. Carhart unlined jackets used to be about $19.95. They are now $89.95. Reminds me of the Chevrolet Suburban. How does this stuff that conservatives like somehow exceed the rate of inflation by multiples?

Maybe thats what they mean by progress....it will always cost more. I remember only being able to buy gas on even days according to the last number on your plate in the 70's and the cost was about .37 cents/gallon. In 1976 I bought a fully loaded Chevy 4X4 with a 400 CI V8 for $5500 tax and all. In 1903 my CHE 16 Bernard was discounted to $95.00 net by PArker Bros. I'd hate to say what I paid for it this summer....talk about inflation....I mean progress At least it's made in the USA
