WE'RE BACK! 2014 AND FRIENDS ARE UNEMPLOYED AND UNDEREMPLOYED

No - We haven't forgotten about YOU! 

We haven't forgotten about STIMULATING THE ECONOMY OF THE UNITED STATES BY PRESERVING JOBS AND BUYING MADE IN THE USA!

We're back but w
e found the holidays challenging.

First the news that a friend of ours who was let go from a job where he had increased sales X5 was reaching the end of his unemployment. 

Then the news that another friend of ours who had lost his business in 2007 and moved to Texas was back and looking for work, while living in an RV.

Both of these men are college educated and have worked for many years and are probably hitting into age discrimination.  They have both taken jobs well beneath their education and experience in the past. And now?  Will they join the homeless?

Our worries about the economy include concerns about the cost of living, in particular the cost of food, because of a long drought that may mean that some Californians will depend on water trucked in for drinking!

How can we SPEND when we too must BUDGET? 

We're saying that if you have a dollar to spend, try to find that item, even if it's the DOLLAR STORE, that is MADE IN THE USA!

OTHERWISE, start learning CHINESE!
