Sounds to me like they were one of majority of people that did well the last 8 years, in spite of Pelosi, Reid, Franks, Dodds, and that Moron of the Midway.
It sounds like they're living within their means and buying the best products on the market to be able to save more money in the long run.
They sound like some smart guys to me.
And to be blunt -- nationalism is a tired argument in a global economy. If we'd invest in our businesses we wouldn't have this problem in the first place. How do you think outsourcing came about? Do you think a CEO woke up one day and wondered what it'd be like if he built his manufacturing plant all the way in China? Nope...they were pushed out of their competitive edge and had no choice.
Do you buy American all the time? Over 90% of our apparel is made in other countries. Why don't you take at tags on items around your house...electronics, clothes, etc. I'm sure you will be surprised.
BTW
Buying "American made" cars and trucks doesn't always guarantee they are ALL American.
My Ford truck was assembled in Mexico.
Ford and Mazda (Japanese) have interchangeable (mixed) parts.
