18 Iconic Products That America Doesn't Make Anymore

I actually grew up in a small town that was built around a factory that made one of the featured products. When the factory closed, unemployment was really high, and a lot of people were upset. I see the same sort of response from IT folks to IT outsourcing too.

I have to wonder though: when a company is getting big and globalizing (and it seems to make sense that a company with an iconic product would be big or getting big), is it really that unexpected that they would move operations? I understand the patriotism behind "Buying American", but when the company has facilities and does business across the globe, it's bigger than America.
