The new generation American consumer demands low price with little regard to quality or value. On the other hand, the American labor unions and workforce demand higher pay. We have backed corporate America into a corner. We can blame the Chinese, big business, the President, WalMart, the federal government, but I'm not naive enough to think we are not part of the problem.
I haven't opened my wallet at WalMart since 2006 and it hasn't impacted my life at all. I drive a Nissan pickup made by Americans in Mississippi. Should I have bought a Dodge from Mexico or a Ford from Canada instead? I don't know. I see the problem but don't have the answer.
