BUY AMERICAN

Sure if the product is of good quality and priced competitively, then absolutely. But under no circumstances am I going to buy an inferior product, often for more money, to help preserve bloated, unionized positions in the name of patriotism.

With competition, our manufacturers are forced to build a better product which is good for the consumer. People are just going to have to accept that many, perhaps most, manufacturing jobs are low skill (High School degree only) positions that simply do not warrant high salaries and Cadillac benefit plans.

We are a knowledge economy now. Folks are just going to have to get an education, retraining, a marketable skill and let go the dreams of yesteryear where the blue collar assembly line worker could raise a family on only his income. Those days are gone and they are never coming back.
