Hi All,
This is been on my mind a lot lately and I wanted to see what you all think:
First off Im a huge proponent of US made products/services. But for all intsive purpose I qualify as middle class. I can afford the slight premium that tends to come with such products. There was a time in my life however when I was completely despondent(I.e. looking for loose change for my coffee, driving an unregistered, uninspected, uninsured car, etc etc). At that point in my life I just bought whatever I needed to get the job done. While at that time I did care about where it came from, I was just too hard up to be able to pay. A few of my friends are going through the same turmoil I went through a year ago, and I know theres no way I could get on my soap box and tell em to buy US made let alone sustainable. Now there is unfortunately a pretty large percentage of Americans in this situation.
So the question is: Is it for the masses? Or do we have to wait for a sorrta domino effect? Paying the premiums at first until more jobs are created, thus more money to go around. Do you think its a pipe dream? Id love to see your responses just keep it friendly.
