We have the power of $20.00

       This blog is dedicated to listing MADE IN USA BRANDS AND PRODUCTS to buy and alternatives from somewhere else to AVOID.
       I recently received an email asking us to CHANGE the trade deficit and save American jobs, because as consumers - we do not need the President or Congress to make this change.  We just need to change how we shop.  Made in the USA - Look for the label. 
           Do without some of the "STUFF" you have been getting that says Made in China - lots of it is cute or convenient but not necessary - think about every $20.00 worth of paper decorations, tiny junk or even food products that came from China.  Can you live without it---Of course you can.  Do you want to keep your job, speak American, live long and prosper.  Forget about fussing at Mexicans who came to America to work and earn money which they do spend here. 
           Plan to do something about about how much money  we owe to businesses in China & transporation in China.  When you owe money to the bank and don't pay - they take your car or house.  Do we really want to OWE China?  Of course not.  Some American businesses are doing business over there - to get cheaper stuff - but they are only doing that  because we buy the mess.  If we buy American or make it--we can do without a lot of it. We have to wean ourselves, not go cold turkey.  So many things of all brands are made there now it will be hard for some families to avoid- especially those with small children. BUT it is important to try.  Every DOLLAR that stays here MATTERS.
