Last night I went to a party to celebrate a young man celebrating his high school graduation. Last Sunday we were at a high school grad party for a young lady. Both of these young people have great futures ahead of them and they are off to college in just two months from now.
Not every kid get to go to college or wants to. And we need to make sure there are good jobs for them out there. I do think about that while looking for products Made in America. What is the connection you may ask? Well if we are making more goods here there will be more jobs at every level. The entry level on the lines, the foreman, the managers, the office staff, the people that do up keep for the factory and grounds, the food service people, and so on and so on. If we keep doing nothing but looking at the service industry, who the hell will we be servicing? We can’t all service right?
When planning for the future we are all told “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket” Well we are right now. We are losing jobs for our skilled labor, and the entry level labor jobs that lead to the skilled labor.
Buy American Products when you can. It does make a differance. We have to stop the bleeding and repair the damage.
