It is my understanding that some members of the US Congress and some American citizens oppose Chinese-made uniforms worn by members of the USA Olympic teams. I humorously assume the said above folks are oblivious to the fact that the majority of products on US shelves, etc., are made in China! It has become a rarity that one can purchase a simple beverage straw, or costly kitchen appliances, or an article of clothing, etc., etc., made in the USA.
Congressional opposition to a ‘few’ uniforms is yet another reflection of great insincerity. However, numerous congressional members believe the common American people are too stupid to realize our government is at fault, not China and other countries that happily manufacture most all our goods.
