We Should All Only Buy American Made Products During These Bad Economic Times To Force Our Jobs To Come Back From Over Seas!
By buying only USA made products and writing to brand name companies and telling them of our decision to do so, we would be forcing them to bring our jobs back. The economic stimulus policies will not work if we can not make good money at our jobs! Extending credit will not do it; borrowing money will not do it; only good paying jobs will pull us through these tough times!

Buying USA will not bring jobs "back home" us companies that manufacture overseas do so because unions in the US have driven them to it. With unions, one person makes $100.00/hr to turn a switch over and over all day, rather than 10 people making $10.00 to do the same unskilled work. Even though there are thousands willing and able to do the union jobs for much less money, companies can't hire them because the unions are protected by gov't. So companies who want to stay in business go overseas to do it.

I don't think everything should be US made only just that we should tax other countries the way they tax us when we send our products over seas to them. The NAFTA pretty much made it to where any other country can import products to the US without being taxed and we need to make it to where they do get taxed. We get taxed everywhere else and it only makes it fair. We still get to keep buying the same products from foreign countries that we love.

Well if American put passion back into her products, the same passion that made us love old classic American cars for instance, then her products would be great.

Check it, people have loyalty to products.
And America is the biggest mix of nationalities.
Its only gonna make sense most of products sold are foreign based. But I do hope American products start selling better.

If we only buy things from the US, then other countries wont like that and they will stop buying things from the US because free trade means trade in both directions, then our economy would fail even more because we would just have the same money in our country without making any more. This is making sense in my head, so tell me if it doesn't make sense written down,,,
