  Hey all, just for everyone to consider...."Made in the USA" parts
purchasing, that is something good to consider as you choose parts.   It is
good for people in this country to buy stuff we've made here at home.  When
you buy a "World Economy" part made in some low wage country and shipped
over here, yes, you might save a few bucks and make more profits for the
Multinational and it's stockholders...the company that controls that
industry, but you are putting the screws to workers in the US and Canada.
Often times the quality of cheap parts is lacking, too..I try to at least
see where stuff I use has been made and when possible, I use US made
products..Helps us workers out, I think..
