It is physically impossible to “Buy American” today.

Every tangible durable good has multiple foreign parts and assembly labor.

In fact, the chances are very good that a Honda or Mazda is more American than a Ford.

This is tilting at windmills and pretty much pointless.

Well I will try, make sure it’s good quality and I’ll pay some more. Makes up for lower taxes hopefully. But we better make it good bc I’m all for free and fair competition.

I always read the label, if it says ‘made in china’ I won’t buy it. I wanted a new pair of boots, ended up with a pair of Corcoran dress boots, marked Made In USA...

So what brand of pens is made in the USA?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Several years ago I bought a Chinese screw-cutting metal lathe. 7x10 from Harbor Freight. Cost me about $370, with a 20% discount, and not including sales tax. Would be about $450 today. The nearest US-made equivalent was $10,000.00 at the time.

I feel a lot more motivated to invest and spend here than I would have if Hillary won.

Good point. My spending will go up starting January 20, 2017, but not before. I do not want the usurper to get credit for the economic boom from Trump’s election.

I will be buying American-made products from Americans who supported Trump. I will be permanently boycotting leftists - shunning them as people and ignoring their stores/services. There are exceptions. I’ll buy Israeli products too, for example.

It is more than Buy American, it is Hire Americans, and it is support American businesses.
