Are you buying American?

It doesn't matter what side of the aisle you are on, we should ALL be trying to buy American.

As a construction material contractor, I didn't realize how much of our material was made
overseas. Last week, after the Tariffs went into effect, the very next day manufacturers
levied Tarfiff surcharges on us. Most of them are between 25 - 35%.

We have told them all, OK, we will buy American. We have already opened new accounts
with manufacturers, and reactivated old accounts.

The sad thing is, I believe many on the left will NOT buy American, because they hate
Trump far more than they love this country.

Without prejudice: You opening remark is telling. So few Americans realise just how much of they their society uses to function is made overseas. And how much is involved if some of that production can come home..The time line can be years and the difference in cost would be back breaking..Much of Americas prosperity (such as it is) relies on cheap imports..😷

@GuidanceCounselor Please explain the logic behind that statement? Or is this just optimism on your part?😷
