But the "will" thing bothers me when those who can afford to pay more for locally sourced goods still place price as paramount. I think part of this is that WalMart, Amazon, and others have persuaded us that we are stupid or saps or getting ripped off if we shop anywhere else.
As others have noted, we are now paying the price for driving cost down as far as possible without concern for other important factors.

We're in agreement. Many who want things manufactured here want lower prices more.
