The Feds once had a 'Buy American Act' in effect. However the factories rather than be updated and overhauled, were built new in China and India. The workers then went and trained the locals in doing their jobs. It was not long before finding something 100% made in America was impossible. I doubt that items assembled in America are really 100% made in America any longer The best one can get it seems to me is the materials and componets imported and assembled in America. This is tough and seems to be getting tougher.
