I believe that the only way for us to get these items off the shelves is for our Government to wake up, and put America back to work, by placing a tariff on all imports. This would make the once cheap product more expensive, thus allowing an American Company to manufacture the product at a cost that is at least competitive.

+1 Once again you are right on the money. We can never convince the majority of Americans to boycott the limitless inventory of Chinese merchandise, but we could put people in office who will utilize tariffs to put a considerable dent into Chinese profits. However, before that we've got to stop borrowing from China and balance our budget.
