Signs of the economic times |
Selling out the US
We all have at some point pointed the finger at who's the blame for the current economic crisis in this country. The truth is---we all are. From the consumers quest to have the last item of clothing and not caring what country's label inside, the business owner trying to make an easy buck to the invester who demand a good return on their investment, we all fit the mold in some respect. It's is going to take all of us to help pull the US out. Start by purchasing and using as many items made in the USA. This causes a ripple efect .
Changing trade laws are not going to happen anytime soon, so we need to do our own trade laws---not american made--don't buy, tell stores to carry American products, and write/call companies that have outsourced and tell them to return back to the USA or sell that product to the country they allow to make it---it's not welcomed in the US.
Take a few minutes to read the following articles.
