Buy American to save America
We read all the time about the unemployment problems is the U.S. Some blame President Obama and some say it is a problem he inherited from President Bush. In my opinion both are wrong.
Neither one is responsible for the enormous amount of outsourcing that has occurred. Try and get some information from your credit card company- you'll talk to someone in India. Try to buy a non Chinese-made toy or game (lead included). Try to find an appliance not made in Mexico or China.
Even your toothpaste says "distributed by" which means that the American brand was not made by the company but made elsewhere. The culprits are the CEOs who laid off American workers so that they could collect their gazillion dollar bonuses by hiring out the work to workers (many of them children) who work in miserable conditions for very little pay,
The government can't do much about that. Democrats can't, Republicans can't, Presidents can't. I try to buy "Made in America" as much as possible but frequently that's impossible.
