I too generally don't care where something is made...to a point. That point is usually reached when the quality of that something is compromised by shoddy manufacturing or inattentive quality control.

I really don't care about something not being "good for the U.S. in the long run" if that something also has "good" point (eg., its level of quality) because then at least you have balance. If I, a U.S. citizen, buy a high quality product, then that's "good for the U.S." ipso facto. My concern is that the mass movement to have stuff made in China or wherever, for the sole purpose of facilitating company executives and shareholders to make more money at the expense of other Americans is not good for our quality standards, as it will be much more difficult to find "good" products at *any* pricepoint.
