YOUR BUYING POWER : EVERY PURCHASE IS A DECISION TO PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR VALUES ARE!

We are watching the Presidential Candidates these days, trying to decide who to vote for.  For us it's not an easy decision, since we probably won't vote a straight ticket for either Democrats or Republicans or any other party.  We know what values matter to us and we're looking for the candidates that seem to reflect those values.  So far no one person is coming into focus for us as the person to vote for.  The economy is a major issue.  We don't think that anyone who is elected will bring us out of this shattered economy which took years to ruin.  Any promises to do so are going in one ear and out the other here.


We feel, as many of you do, a bit helpless.  We know that we cannot expect any elected government officials or leaders to do it for us.  We know that the ECONOMIC POWER WE HAVE IS BUYING POWER.  What little money we may have, how we spend it is all important, because when we spend, we stand behind not only products and services, but MADE IN THE USA - jobs in manufacturing and all else.  When we as citizens have employment,  we come closer to the ideal of independence.  No one really wants to depend on society - the government - for food, shelter, and clothing,  even health care, education should not have to be public, but that is our default, because these days few can afford that much independence.


How are you feeling about the Presidential Candidates?
