Made in the USA

People are looking more and more often for American Made. I think the big factor of course is all of the faulty and often dangerous products coming from China.

Americansworking.com is getting double and triple the number of hits we did this time last year!

For the record I have nothing against the people of China. Can’t stand communist, but you can’t blame the people for working for next to nothing, cause the other option is nothing! But they could and should do better for thier own people.

And I do ask myself, “should we enrich our lives by buying cheap products from countries that do things we don’t, and we don’t for good reasons?” I think not. That is why this year more then ever before I will be looking at my own list of American Made Products for my Christmas Shopping!

Keep your money at home, keep your job at home, keep your homes safer.

It always amazes me that the people who are trying to make an impact on Global Warming etc don’t put more energy into buying things locally rather then importing? Maybe they do and I just missed it. There are many groups and websites like this one urging people to buy American made products for many reasons. I would think another good reason is a smaller carbon foot print right? How can an imported product not have a huge carbon foot print? They are made in factories where in most cases there are not laws regarding emissions, the electricty used is made by burning coal, the cargo ships that transport the products here are not running on bio diesel fuel last I looked?

So yet another great reason to buy American Made Products! Buying American reduces your carbon foot print and keeps your job at home! At least the way that I see it and that’s all that counts in my house.

Sounds like a stupid question right? I know everone just thinks it the labor right? Well you have all seen the horrible press Chinese goods have received over the last few months right. The new did not just focus on cheap labor did it? Most of the news reported about unsafe materials and workmenship. So lets break this down shall we. Why are Chinese goods cheap:

• Cheap Labor (we all know that)
• Little to no safety regulations
• Little to know QA (as we know it anyhow)
• Corruption
• Devalued money (on purpose)
• No worker rights (as we know them)
• Free electricty (from coal fired plants I might add)
• No B&O tax
• No Payroll tax (do you pay slaves?)
• No health insurance
• Little to no regs or guidelines on pollution
• No emmission controls (as we know it)
• Cutting Corners!
• No worker rights
• Extreme Greed
• Copyrights What copyrights!

No I don’t have hard facts to back all this up, but I can read (can’t spell) and I do read the news. You don’t have to be the world’s smartest guy to figure this out. It’s everwhere! Just like their products!

Keep your money at home, keep your job at home.
