		<description><![CDATA[Sure, you can make the stuff here, for ten times the cost, which is why American homebuilders were sending for it from abroad to meet the demands of the sub-prime mortgage lenders greedily doling out mortgages to Americans who couldn&#039;t even afford their homes. And Chinese manufacturers met the needs demanded by these homeowners and mortgage lenders. They&#039;re still buying the product and installing it, too, which means that even if a Chinese manufacturer created a defective product, it&#039;s not stopping Americans today from buying it for cheap over a non-defective product and putting it in people&#039;s homes just to make a quick buck. So, sure, blame China for everything, but it&#039;s also the Americans&#039; fault for building cheap houses in the first place.]]></description>
