Surprisingly, with the economy in crisis, people losing jobs and our GDP on a dump compared to the interest payments on our national debt barely showing any rebound, we continue to keep foreign products.
We ask, “Who is to blame?” Take a long hard look in the mirror, and then take a look at what in your shopping cart. It’s just human nature to look at other people, to establish guilt. Unfortunately, this is all of us. We go to the store with the thought we will get as much as we can at all, as we can spend. Nevertheless, we do not understand, by the time we got on hand, as we have in the basket is not made in the USA. Why? Because we have kept the dollar here and out there. Do we support our local economy? In most cases the answer is no. Of course, we bought the product from a local shop, so we have the support of carriers warehouse clerk, and checking people, local mega-marts, and the products we bought were made in a country that pays its employees a few dollars a day. For what? We only paid a few dollars less products than if we bought the goods made by U.S. company that pays its employees anywhere from 8 to 10 dollars per hour. In addition, U.S. workers would buy more goods in the U.S..
It is almost incomprehensible logic we use.
We see that people spend more than $ 100 for jeans with a special label, which later split pennies when they buy other products. We need to get REAL, people! Regardless of what Congress or the Senate or even the president decided to do it to save the U.S. economy. We can do it one dollar at a time. The next time you go to the store, although it may be difficult to find and buy the product that says it’s made in America. If you can not find it, go to the stores that sell goods that are made in America. If we continue to shop stores that promote American products of the large networks will eventually shift its attention, it may take time, but they are not dummies, they are in business to stay in business.
How do we force retailers to carry American products, slowly make the change. Realize that it took several years to get the economy where it is today, without a doubt, this will take years to reverse the situation, but with your support, we can restore the growth of the U.S. economy.
