Well said, agreed. Re this one part…..
“even if people wanted to buy USA made they couldn’t.”
Many years ago….Even if people wanted to buy ORGANIC FOODS, they couldn’t. But people wanted them and kept asking for them in super markets, and now we have entire sections, because people WANTED that.
Unfortunately, unpatriotic, uninformed Americans don’t ask store managers for US made stuff, for preserving high living standards. Spending on an import is like paying a tax to the global gov’t.
It used to be the United States of America. Today? Its the United Countries of Earth. And don’t try secession from the union.
