Shopping Dilemma

My shopping excursions to the local marts are very rare indeed. My dear spouse does the shopping, I only go when in dire need. I have no interest in fostering the foreign imbalance of trade, Therefore, when I shop I want to buy things American made! Why, nowadays one can tour the world and go on a shopping spree, Without leaving the county or crossing the billowing sea! Since most things come from The Czech Republic or Paraguay, The Peoples Republic of China, Japan and even Uruguay! I can live sans everything French, especially their cheese and wine. California wines and Wisconsin cheeses suit me just fine! I'm desperately trying to find a locally-owned shoe store, Where I can buy American shoes, not those assembled in Ecuador! Alas, my turkey for holiday repast is imported from Old Mexico. I'd much prefer that it be bred and reared here in Colorado! Can anyone tell me where I can buy American made attire? Seems all the labels read, "Made in Laos, Thailand, Belize or Eire!" The plethora of stuff continues to invade our sacred shores, Inundating the shops and marts, overflowing their cash drawers. Even the paper upon which I scribe was made in a place called Texas, But I reckon I can brook that, since with them we have a tenuous nexus! Robert L.
