Every company in the world is gouging all of the world's population. The greedy just get greedier during times like these. Look at gas prices within the week before a holiday comes comes along.

But the biggest reason for the exportation of products and jobs from the USA is that the vast majority of consumers don't give a (fill in the blank) about where a product is made or its quality, as long as the price is low! And I have been selling ONLY USA-produced products for 45 years. Jon.
