Talk about dispiriting! Recently we heard some talk radio personalities making fun out of people who want to buy American.
One of them said Americans could not resist the deal, buying things cheap, and from China. THE STATISTIC this radio personality quoted on the cost of buying Made in the United States goods was 20% higher. I know this adds up, especially as sales taxes have also gone up in many places. However, those who can afford to should buy products and services at the 20% mark-up (as one way to look at it) anyway. And those of you who cannot afford to should still look at the origins of products on the packaging and choose the MADE IN THE USA equivalent whenever possible. And the rule here is, buy from our allies if you can't buy American. Support the economy of Great Britain, for instance!
THE MORE PEOPLE WHO ARE EMPLOYED here and now, the MORE PEOPLE WHO WILL ALSO BE EMPLOYED AND BE ABLE TO SPEND. The chances of you getting a raise go way up when the economy is rich because it becomes an employee market. As things stand all Americans - unionized or not - are loosing!
This is not something our President can do for us, nor should we expect the President to tweak numbers WITHOUT OUR PARTICIPATION IN THE UNITED STATES ECONOMY!
We are researching here for good products made in the USA. We hope you are inspired to check labels, do your own research, make made in the USA product requests in stores you shop in, and so on!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
