"Made in U.S.A." Is An Endangered Specie

There is no avoiding the influence that is China, and many other developing nations. In just one decade of products, goods have gone from "Made in U.S.A." to "Made in China." Looking at old wash clothes, baby clothing, and old pillows, I find made in the U.S.A., but my closet is a whole other story. My clothing comes from places such as China, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and India (China being the majority).  All but one brand of my clothing in my closet is made the U.S.A. This one brand being "Threadless," an online shirt company that makes many silly shirt prints. It doesn't stop there; all of my electronics, including alarm clocks, iPhone, lamps, and toys are all made in China. What I found most surprising was that many of my tourist fixtures, like a New York Snow globe, or a mini statue the Empire State Building were all made in China. The only products I use in my house that are made by U.S.A. is my toothpaste, mouthwash, shampoo, conditioner, soap, and chap stick. In other words, any product that has liquid and basic chemicals. Based on the many imported goods I end up buying, free trade in the United States must benefit many other country's income. Therefore, although "Made in U.S.A." is dying off as the United States starts relying more on imports, optimistically consumers receive cheaper goods, while America builds better trade relations with other countries. 

Why then do many people believe the majority of products should still be made in America? I've heard two key reasons people may believe this. One: America should maintain nationalism, therefore all products should say "Made in U.S.A." This will somehow make us all more patriotic as a whole. I disagree with this because based on the many products I've cataloged, finding the actual tag and reading the text on the tag is a tedious task, that the usual consumer (including myself) wouldn't usually do. Therefore, it will have a minimal, unconscious effect on how we see our country.  Two: America is losing many of its manufacturing jobs to outsourcing, therefore without jobs, our people are losing money. This is one of the effects of outsourcing that can't be avoided, but evolved from. Society, since the second industrial revolution, has built a job market around manufacturing. Now that outsourcing is causing this job market to be an endangered specie, America must evolve it's job market to suit jobs that can make money. So although with people with lost manufacturing jobs may suffer now, if America is pursuing free trade, society must evolve to a newer job market. "Made in U.S.A." may be dying off, but with free trade, America can live without it.
