Why don't we have a "Made In America" rating system?
The government came come up with the Energy Star rating to place on items for energy consumption awareness.
Why not have a sticker that rates how much a product percentage wise is Made In America. No sticker for items 60% or less, and a nice US flag Logo with a percentage number for easy comparison.
Just like the energy ratings, consumers at a glance could identify products that would support our domestic economy.

SIMIAN: Unfortunately not all tags include info on where they are made. Nor are they obvious to a shopper at a casual glance
RoBo: There are still a number of products made in america. Wouldn’t you like it to be easier to spot a US item? Consider that some washer and dryers are still made here but you really have to look hard when shopping to find them.

You can usually tell just by looking at the price tag. This is much easier.

That can’t be possible: Free market, the magical solution remember?

It’s difficult to find a United States Flag that is Made In The U.S.A. any more let alone anything else.

I know that you can find Made In America items at some locations. One person noted flags made in America and I have bought a few for my school and I got them all at:
They have only Made in America US and State Flags. not sure about the rest of the products but I know they stand high and proud of their Made in America because they have it even on their flags.
Currently the only thing still made in America is the stickers.
