MADE IN CHINA
And unemployed
in the United States?
File under: "You can't make this stuff up."
I recently sent $20 to the U.S. Olympic Committee, and they sent me a black winter hat and scarf with the crimson Olympic logo on the front.
I wore it to work last week, and someone asked what it was made of. So I took it off and looked at the tag inside: "Made in China."

It's official now: China is the biggest exporter on the planet. When are people going to understand that when you send every dollar you earn to the other side of the Earth, pretty soon there are no more dollars on this side of the Earth?
Next time you choose to save a dime and go to Wal-Mart, try to find anything there made in the United States. Now try to figure out where you're gonna work when your U.S. employer has to let you go.
