Always buying the more expensive product is your recommendation for saving money?

Yes, if it means less of my money to pay for someone else's unemployment benefits, and even less because there are more employed people carrying the load.

And yes, if it means my job won't be shipped overseas so I'll have a paycheck to buy those more expensive US made pens with.

What if we only used US produced oil? Current production is about one-third of our usage. Our costs would skyrocket.

Would that be helpful for American workers?

and even less because there are more employed people carrying the load.

I'm sure the number of US oil workers would increase quickly, do you think that would offset the massive job losses in all the other sectors of the economy?

Except for the fact that you will probably be spending 50 cents to save 25 cents, you might have a point.
