Senator John McCain appeared on ABC's This Week yesterday, and made an absurd claim. In a piece that aired on the show, a crew from ABC emptied a couple's house of all items not made in the US, and then tried to fill it back up with products that were made in the US. During the discussion about the piece, Senator McCain said this:
"I think it's obviously a recognition of the reality and the trends, that cheaper, lower-cost labor products will usually prevail over products made in higher wage and income countries. I would also point out that if you emptied that house--if you had left a computer there or an iPad or an iPhone--those are built in the United States of America."
Apple products are not made in the US. They are designed in California but are made in China. Mr. McCain had better get his facts straight.
Frankly, I'm surprised Apple has not caught more heat for this over the years. When I ordered a MacBook Pro a couple of years ago it was delivered from Shanghai.
