From YouTube:
Economics isn’t all that complicated. We can create a million new American jobs this year by simply looking for the Made In America label. If each of us takes a tiny fraction of the money we’re already spending and buys US-made goods, we’ll create a economic tidal wave. Watch the video, and then share it with at least two people. Boom, you just helped make a million new jobs.

Has anyone noticed that of all the things you buy at the dollar stores in a year (or less) nothing works and it’s in the trash. Oh ya it’s fun for the kids to buy something for a dollar but it breaks or doesn’t work soon after you get it home. Our standard reply is, “hey it only cost a dollar”. Ever notice there is no complaint department for things made in China or any of the other countries that make the junk? It’s made in Chunkiechink Village some where in the world that doesn’t speak English so you can’t call and say, “hey I bought this piece of junk and it broke, who fixes it”? It’s all done by some import company LLC. There is nothing like poor quality and below standard equipment to make you outraged that you bought their junk. So let’s just keep sending jobs over seas according to the NAFTA treaty and soon your house will be empty because it’s all been thrown away…..OR like the video says “start buying American when ever possible or do without.
We used to makeg lots of things. Then between the politicians, environmentalists, and unions, our manufacturing went away. NC used to make lots of furniture. Don’t really see much of that happening. NC used to be big in textiles. Don’t see that much anymore either.
The only reason we won WWII is due to our ability to return skilled workers to the factories. We out produced the Germans like crazy. Our weapons, for the most part, weren’t that good, but we could field 6 tanks to every tank the Germans produced and even with 5 of our tanks getting knocked out the 6th one managed a kill on the Germans. The next war will be a come as you are because the old farts who knew how to make things are going away (death, retirement, different job)
