A physics teacher told students "One grasshopper on railroad tracks won't slow down a train in climbing a steep grade. But, a billion of them would make the tracks slick enough to do it." A friend told me he was in a big box store looking at hose attachments and noticed they were made in China. Later he saw some at Ace Hardware that were made in the USA.
He went on to say, "GE light bulbs are made in Mexico and are more expensive than bulbs made in Cleveland, Ohio. The fabric softener Bounce® is made in Canada and costs more than the Everyday Value brand which is made in the USA". He said "Hershey’s® candy bars and Colgate® toothpaste are made in Mexico, too." Are you beginning to understand what he is saying?
Start reading labels while shopping and look for products that are made in the USA. Every thing we buy affects someone's job somewhere. Let's start with light bulbs. One light bulb won't matter much, but if a lot of us look at labels and buy products made in America, it can and will make a difference. The job you save may be your own or that of your neighbor!
