Who says we are in "Deep Do Do"? Any proof?

Have you checked the value of the dollar vs. ANY other currencies lately?

Do you know who owns billions upon billions of dollars of US debts?

There is a reason we are playing kissey face with China when we really should be outraged at them. They could crush our financial markets in a few days, if they wished to. They have us pretty well held hostage.

Oops,

BTW the little POS things in question are worth about 25 cents each though I don't know what SWAPA paid. It's a thin wrap with velcro for the handle of your brainbag or suitcase and it's emblazoned with a slogan of some kind. We also go a sticker celebrating SWAPA's 25 anniversary. No idea where that was made.

Who cares?

You might care if you (or someone in your family) has lost his/her livelihood as a result of outsourcing (which is nothing more than a synonym for "corporate greed at the expense of the American worker").

This example is pretty small potatoes, but is indicative of a much larger problem, of which your union (and millions of other Americans) are now contributing to.

But as long as you've got yours...

It is a an April fool's joke that was posted on our union website. It is pretty realistic and I think many were in fact fooled, but it isn't legit.

Anyone that is a Union worker should care about the off shoring of labor in the US, you kool aid drinking twit. MMMMMMMM Southwest fruitpunch.

Just how do you buy only U.S. made goods? Do you shop at Walmart?

Did the 5 year olds at the Malaysian sweat shop have to pay for their Singer sewing machine (classic) types?

It can be a real PITA, and sometimes it cant be done at all. However there are many web sites with American made products. Usually one site has many different products from different manufacturers. I make this effort every time I need something. Why? because my neighbor or my cousins job depends on it. If they dont work who is going to buy a ticket on my airline?
Google American made products and it will link you up to them.
I know your question was not to me but the answer is, no I do not shop at Wall Mart.

My USAPA lanyard was made in the USA!

How do you know that? Did you actually see where the material was made? are you sure it wasn't just assembled in the USA?

Buy American, like Boeing. Oh never mind

 

[Widow's Son]

I'm convinced. I sold my Chevy made in Mexico and bought a Toyota made in Ohio.
