Buy Products MADE in America not FOR America

This went around in an e-mail and came to me.. seemed like a decent topic to work on

Did you all see that Diane Sawyer has a special report coming up this week on this very subject. They removed ALL items from a typical, middleclass family's home, that were not made in the USA. There was hardly anything left besides the kitchen sink. Literally. During the special they are going to show truckloads of items - USA made - being brought in to replace everything. And will be talking about how to find these items and the difference in price etc.
It was interesting that Diane said that if every American spent just $64 (more than normal) on USA made items this year, it would create something like 200,000 new jobs.
Made ME think!
Check the Can
I WAS BUYING FOOD THE OTHER DAY AT WALMART.
ON THE LABEL OF SOME PRODUCTS IT SAID 'FROM CHINA'.




FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN 'FROM CHINA'.




I WAS SHOCKED!! SO FOR A FEW MORE CENTS I BOUGHT THE LIBERTY GOLD BRAND OR THE DOLE SINCE IT'S FROM CALIF .

TAKES FOREVER JUST TO BUY FOOD AND DO LABEL READING ! !

Are we Americans as dumb as we appear --- or --- is it that we just do not think? While the Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets.




Yet 70% of Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended.




Well, duh..why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?




SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF, AMERICA!!




Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says ' Made in China ' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong ), simply choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.




Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter ? If you must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some American farmer. Easter is just an example, the point is do not wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and assume control on your own.




THINK ABOUT THIS: If 200 million Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor...fast!!




The downside? Some American businesses will feel a temporary pinch from having foreign stockpiles of inventory. Wahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!




The solution? Let's give them fair warning and send our own message. Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning on implementing this on March. 4th and continue it until April. 4th That is only one month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese for 1/12th of the total, or 8%, of their American exports. Then they will at least have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it.

[WithinYouLiesTruth]

@denonphyte so you're saying that we should just buy everything foreign till our economy crashes?

[oiboy626]

I agree with you. Me and my friend have recently started a facebook page about made in usa products. We want to spread awareness of this.

[WithinYouLiesTruth]

@oiboy626 THAT'S AWSOME! whats the page? we have a page to. look us up on FB ProjectChaos

One wonders if the person who wrote this knows what the word "Mandarin" actually means. This is like complaining that stores sell meat from Australian kangaroos and not American kangaroos.

[WithinYouLiesTruth]

@chumgrinder25 2/2 are high, and not going down very quickly.

God bless america, but the idea that buying american products isn't going too work they will be too expensive too buy in the first place. I think if america wants too get back on track they need to even things out with other countries.

@WithinYouLiesTruth

What? Do you take stupid pills?

[maroinmybones]

This is part of the reason OWS is happening. American Banks, Health system, and Auto Companys are all corrupt and greedy. Shit that is made in America........Far too expensive. I help myself and my family first friend. This country crashed because of our government and the police state we live in, not because of where we buy our shit.

[maroinmybones]

Ok say I'll say my peace and leave. I'm not going to pay $200 for a bullshit item for a money hungry American company. I'd rather buy the same product for cheap elsewhere. American products are priced up like a mother fucker. If American companies wont help me.............I wont help them, pure and simple.

i used to make 20 dollars an hour working in a factory. You can't have an economy based on nothing but college graduates. Not all people where meant to go to college. You have to have jobs for working people too.

[wilhamlin]

@fognog3 they weren't really the best jobs. they were popular because most of them were very low skill, and that's why the pay for them were/are so low.

[fognog3]

@wilhamlin Factory jobs used to be some of the best jobs available. I know plenty of people who would like to work in a factory. If they didnt pay slave wages!
