      Regrettably part of this problem in the last bunch of years comes from the NAFTA and the damn Most Favored Nation thing (as a trade partner....)... WE must thank our former President Bill "the idiot" Clinton for pushing those through so hard and quickly... If you look at the demise of things, you will find that alot of our current difficulties started about those times... Although American Unions need to take their own credit for helping out in the creation of Cheap labor overseas...

      I have kept myself an American Purchaser all but once in my life, even though I have been tempted to look at Toyota and Nissan and all the rest before... I bought one BMW, (assembled in South Carolina, and yes I checked the Parts % before I purchased the damn thing, it read 65% of the parts made in USA right on the Invoice).

      As for trucks, thank God I like big trucks, because No one makes a 3/4 or
      1-ton like us...

      Have a great day all....

          I don't know if this is true or not but I received it via email and thought I'd share.

          ---------

          When I think of the job situation in this country, I can't help but think this helps in some small way.

          I don't know how many households there are in the U.S. but if these were the only things we bought think of the impact....

          This past weekend I was at Kroger. I needed 60 W light bulbs and Bounce dryer sheets. I was in the light bulb aisle and right next to the GE brand I normally buy was an off brand labeled "Everyday Value." I picked up both types of bulbs and compared the stats - they were the same except for the price. The GE bulbs were more money than the Everyday Value brand but the thing that surprised me the most was the fact that GE was made in MEXICO and the Everyday Value brand was made in - get ready for this - the USA .


          So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day that are made right here - from a company in Cleveland OH !

          So on to another aisle - Bounce Dryer Sheets....yep you guessed it Bounce was more money and made in Canada, the Everyday Value brand was less money and MADE IN THE USA! I did laundry yesterday and the dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce Free I have been using for years and at almost half the price!

          So my challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for everyday things and see what you can find that is made in the USA - the job you save may be your own or your neighbors!


          If you accept the challenge, pass this on to others in your address book so we can all start buying American, one light bulb at a time!


          Besides, you might save a little green in the process.

          Stop buying from China ..........


          We should have awakened a decade ago......

          lets get with the program.... help our fellow Americans keep their jobs ... and create more jobs here in the U.S.A.
