Watch how long it takes for “Made in America” to rocket back into vogue - along with a (bunch) of new jobs here!!

Won't happen for a couple reasons.

Walmart drove the small local businesses out of business because people wanted cheaper products and didn't care what effect it would have on the local small businesses.

Americans don't want the low wage high labor jobs. They want high pay low labor jobs.

Like it or not we do have a labor shortage in the high manual labor sector. Our birthrate in this country is still self sustaining, all other industrialized modern countries are negative, but with a growing economy we don't have the labor force for the entry level positions.

Every step we can take in the direction of encouraging companies and people to build and make things in America, is good for our country.

No one action or step will change things.

But over time, we can change the dynamic. Already illegal immigration has emerged, and become a patriotic rallying cry across America. That would have been unthinkable, just 5 years ago.

Outsourcing and the selling off of America’s industry is even more important, and for many of the same reasons, has the capability to deeply inspire people.

I say we should try it.

Then we should try again.

And keep trying. Every day. In everything we do.
