42,000 American Factories have shut down since 2001, this translates into over fifteen million lost jobs to places like Communist China, Viet Nam, India and Pakistan. If every American Household bought only $650.00 of Made in USA products per year it would create well over a million U.S. Jobs. If it just a pair of socks or a new car it all adds up. $650.00 split between a four person household is only $162.50 for each person, a small amount to invest in keeping our country working. How's that "global economy" working out for us? 2001 we were riding pretty high, now we're in such bad shape states are actually planning for the nation's collapse. Buy American or stop bitching about the economy.
With the help of the 1% and traitors within our government, China is in the process of quickly destroying our country, and everything they make is crap. Especially their clothing. Were none of that true I'd still not buy their products because they are a bunch of mentally sick fucks that torture and imprison their own simply for speaking their thoughts out loud. They pollute the earth on a massive scale in every way imaginable with no regrets or apologies. Were it not for the Nixon and the WalMart family, China would still be the impotently poor and awkwardly backwards nation they had always been, and certainly no threat to the US.
It was the tech bubble and then the housing bubble. States are planning for collapse because of many of the unsustainable pension plans, out of control spending and handouts. The Global Economy is great. American workers/factories didn't get the memo and are obsolete.
Born and raised in Bend. You have a lot to learn about Central Oregon, noob. For example, La Pine isn't part of Central Oregon, as it would be an insult to Central Oregon.
