Imported Textiles

Major corporations need to be held accountable for all the imported textiles they are flooding the U.S. market with. A lot of the mom and pop shops still, or used to sell mainly U.S. textiles. I mean if the American shopper would only buy textiles made in the U.S., you will be saving a bundle, because its nearly impossible to find such textiles. The worst is seeing some high prices on imported textiles.

I would like to see a statistic comparing male and female consumers who buys more imported textiles.


A friend of mine who has been in the union for years once told me, "Only buy products made in the U.S.A., because it hurts so many parts of the U.S. when you buy imports.

This week, President Bush is expected to negotiate with China over their exporting of textiles to the U.S. This is the second time President Bush has made such an attempt, the first was imposing tariffs on imported steel. Now, I believe the president needs to impose tariffs on imported textiles. Just remember America has a unique strain of cotton than the rest of the world. The Aztec's had cotton armor. We don't need Asian cotton textiled imports.
