I suppose it's easier to blame the manufacturer rather than the
government for govt. deficit borrowing/spending on a pointless war that
is fueling a galloping inflation that will make the 70's look like
child's play.

Just wait till fuel prices will trickle down to affect the price of
every consumer product, both for transportation and raw materials for
petroleum-based products.

Has anyone noticed that every manufactured product on the shelves today
is "Made in China"? Now that they have a grip on our markets, they will
do as they please with the prices--we won't have any choices.
