Made in America

I just heard. There is a program that airs on The Travel Channel hosted by John Ratzenberger (Cliff Claven, Cheers, circa. 1985) called Made in America. I haven't yet seen the show but it sounds like he traverses the country paying homage to American companies and American-made products. At a time when many of our manufacturing jobs are being outsourced and it's difficult to find goods made right here on our soil by our craftsmen it's worth a look - even if for no other reason than curiosity about how things are made. Cliff (endearingly) also started the Nuts & Bolts Foundation to teach kids how to work with their hands. After all, not everyone will or should attend college. It's important that we have qualified tradesmen equipped with the critical skill set necessary to build our infrastructure and propel us into the future.
