Choices

So how do you support jobs in this country? It's through choices in your purchases in your daily life. Do you know where that product you just purchased was made? If its made overseas in Asia, you are possibly supporting an American Company but you are also supporting the export of our jobs and your future. Look for products made with pride in our own country, the good ol' US of A. Sure they cost a little more, but that single purchase can protect another job right here in the states. The job you protect may be your own!

I am by no means a protectionist. I am, however, pragmatic and understand the difference between free trade and fair trade. Our labor being exported to countries that don't have the same or similar laws and structures do not constitute fair trade. No environment laws, poor health care and the lack of structured retirement accounts are not fair trade.

So make your choices wisely.
