Last time I was at Walmart (usually not a pleasant experience) I looked at the 2 things I was buying and was pleasantly surprised to see that they were made in the USA. Now this was while in line, I did not select them based on this, but I sure felt better after noticing. Kind of like going to the gym,it fells better afterward. I will be taking my reading glasses with me from now on and look for made in the USA, just like me.I understand the lower labor argument,but in times of automation, I would love to see more things made here.

“the simpletons are on the case. The price tag on Obama’s emergency plan had risen to nearly $1 trillion last time we looked. The Senate bowed to global scorn and ridicule, taking out many of the “Buy America” provisions. Of course, they didn’t do it as a matter of principle…they don’t have principles. Instead, someone must have warned them that if Americans insist on “buying American” the Chinese might insist on “investing Chinese.” And then the whole game would be up. The Ponzi scheme that is U.S. finance requires new money from foreigners in order to pay off the old money that foreigners put in last year and the year before.”

[quote=cooprider]Raise and interest rates and give all politicians term limits and pay cuts so they earn what an average American earns.

If they want to represent us, they should have to live like us.[/quote]

Coop, great point! Most of these guys in office are nothing more than an overrated high school class president, just a bit more corrupt. I have always said that political positions should come with requirements that include running a successful business or having some higher qualifications, not just an education (I wasn’t a huge fan of Mitt Romney, but that man probably was best qualified from a business standpoint to run this country). I dropped out of college to start a thriving company that still seems to be doing quite well. From an education standpoint I don’t qualify to be a politician, but from a business standpoint I think I would do a hell of a lot better than most guys in there right now. My only problem is I would actually be voting on behalf of the people in this country which doesn’t get you too far. Everyone goes to the right or left, while I believe the path to stability in this country is narrow and straight!
