We still make pencils.  Two companies, one in New Jersey,
and the other someplace else.  The ones made in New Jersey
are kind of pricey, but the other ones are cheap and sold
at WalMart.

Not everything at WalMart is made in China.

The French Market in New Orleans has only fresh foods available,
nothing from China.

Chinese grow their own food, and give 10% of their crops to
their government.  That is what is called subsidized groceries.
