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.

A strong dollar leads to more imports relative to exports if you want to boost exporters you have to devalue the currency.

@Spotpot Most of what kept the $ strong was the demand for it as the trade currency. The Chinese and BRICS have recently been undrmining the foundations of that..😷

@Spotpot BRICS payment system is already a success, using the Yuan as a trading currency and China are selling blocks of Yuan for use. Just like the Americans have..The saudis, South Africanjs and Brazilians have been at it for a while now..And others are starting to do it. So Sorry.. "WRONG!"😷
