While enjoying one of my favorite past-times yesterday (playing with the grand-daughter) I got to noticing where the playthings were built. From blowing bubbles (made in China), to the plastic play-set (made in China), to the tricycle (made in China), it appeared that we were supporting nothing but the Chinese people.
Now I know that they have to eat too, but I sure would rather the people in our country eat first......
I don't mean for this to be political, for it's not. It's just a matter of fact.
Our economy is in the tank, and looks like it's going to get worse before it even thinks about getting better. As some food for thought, I now look to see where a product if manufactured if I want to buy it. It's getting to the point where if I can't find something manufactured in the USA, I just won't buy it.
By doing this, you effectively eliminate 75% or so of any money that you want to spend, so you are now going to save money too.
Works for me.
If enough of us could get this attitude, perhaps we could manufacture something in our country other than debt instruments again. Sigh....
