where are all the jobs in America?

Mostly looking for comments as to what people think as far as how true this little story is: Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6 a.m. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG). He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB. At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day, Joe decided to relax for a while. He put on his robe (Made in PAKISTAN) Slippers (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), Then his DVD Player (Made in CHINA), Took out a movie (Made in JAPAN), made some microwave (Made in THAILAND) popcorn (Made in TAIWAN) and then wondered why he and everyone else can't find any jobs in.....AMERICA

5. Little story is pretty good. If he wants an American job he will need to move south or southwest. If he goes to a right to work state he might not get paid as much but he will find a job.
6. Everything should be made, sold, and bought in this country......period. Every one would go back to work and we would get the economy back on track. How easy would that be??? Thank Slick Willy Clinton for NAFTA......
