They where talking on the radio today about small ways to help fix the economy and to keep living wage jobs here in our country. One of the ways they suggested was to take the time to buy at least one Christmas gift that was made in America this year. By doing this, you could "vote" with your pocket books and let corporations know that we want to keep jobs here at home.
What are your thoughts one this? Do you agree or disagree? Would you take it a step beyond that, and try to buy everything local? I know we have had some discussions on buying American vs foreign. But they all seemed to be based on if you cared where your toys came from. This discussion kind of puts a face of a worker on that product you purchase at the store. I know that every product gets made by someone. But what if that someone was your neighbor?
