I always get a kick out of folks who want the lowest price, but then complain about quality or Chinese manufactured goods. What? You thought the price fairy discounted Snap On tools?
It seems that many of those who are throwing stones at Lowes and Home Depot may need to look in the mirror.

FINALLY A POINT ON WHICH YOU AND I CAN AGREE!!! LOL
Middle America shopped it's way out of manufacturing jobs by spending the pay check they got from working on the assembly line -- buying stuff at Walmart et al.... and then wonder why their job doesn't exist anymore. They wanted (and went on strike for) union wages and job guarantees -- while wanting the lowest prices for things they bought. They can now be "greeters" at WalMart in their "retirement". "I want my 90" TV for $499"... Well - that may be why there is no Motorola factory here anymore.
