Buy American

My Honey skiing by the Matterhorn!

A friend of mind sent this email around, thought you might find it interesting:
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 CanI  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!!
