 Exactly! In fact, you'd be surprised how many TVs are made here, for that reason.

Colorite based out of Ridgefield, NJ makes 65% of all the  domestic garden
hoses and they also make air hoses. The majority of their product offerings
are manufactured domestically with a small volume imported from Asia.  Since
this product is of bulk content it becomes very expensive for container
ocean freight costs.

 It's a rumor, the casting business is alive and well here. After all,
engines are made here. Pipe is made here, etc. It's economics, not
regulations that make the difference. And we DO put tariffs on imports, and
often a penalty if the manufacturer abroad is being environmentally
irresponsible.

This is in the category of rumor, but I understand that maybe our DEQ & 
EPA regulations have essentially outlawed certain foundry practices that 
makes things like drill presses, compresser blocks, iron pipe, maybe 
brake drums and rotors and hubs, etc, illegal or impractical to make in 
the USA

Would somebody like to check on this rumor?   :-(

I gota go milk.
