Seven reasons to buy products made in the USA.

1. Keeping jobs in the USA gives you, a neighbor or family member a job. Remember it could be you or a loved one laid off next time.

2. Helps to keep America strong by having less dependence on foreign manufactures in times of global distress.

3. Money spent on foreign goods often goes to countries that do not especially like us. These countries are building their military and destroying their environment to feed our need for cheap imported products. This may eventually come back to haunt us.

4. “It’s the economy stupid”. Do you really think that whenever you spend $100.00 on foreign goods the third world country manufacturing it is going out and spending it on American made TV’s or computers. I don’t think so. A matter of fact I know a lot of companies that sell goods online and they never receive orders from China, Korea, Indonesia, etc. even though their populations are several times bigger than that of the US.  

5. In the USA foreign companies are taking away market share from American companies. In a lot of foreign countries it is virtually impossible to sell to the general population due to patriotism, standard of living, substandard infrastructure for delivery purposes and apathy.

6. If a trade imbalance exists, the country has a deficit. This means a weaker dollar and less money to pass back and forth to generate taxes with. This means that the people working will have to withstand higher tax rates to keep up all the services people are accustomed to.

7. American pride and to support your country. Supporting your country is what helps to define you as an American. Many hundreds of thousands of people have given their lives in defending this great country of ours which has lead to our high standard of living and our individual freedoms. By sending your money overseas you will see a weakening US economy which will eventually lead to a lower standard of living for most Americans. We are starting to see this now even as the government continues to print money and the debt is over 12 trillion dollars. The US deficit in 2009 was 1.4 trillion out of a 14 trillion economy. This means that we have a deficit of 10% of GDP.
