When someone is 97 and in a nursing home, you are thankful that you can get them something they need and will use every day... rather than something that will have to be stored due to minimal room in their clothes closet. Besides almost $60.00 (inc tax) for a pair of Made in China slippers isn't cheap in my world. If she didn't need them right away ( due to one disappearing at the nursing home) I would have checked out LL Bean. |

Aw, he's just making excuses for buying chinese junk and crying about everyone else that does it. That's the Progressive way... |

If you look at goods shipped and produced, USA is already second banana. Will only be a few more years and USA is the second largest economy. Can't run the country on fleabagger debt and bull**** forever. Just more government will accelerate the process. Fleabaggers are thick, the very thing they worship is the source of their problems. Like a snake eating its own tail, downhill it will go until the fleabaggers quite literally pull their heads off their asses. -- Eat the rich, screw the companies and wonder why there are no jobs.
