Consumer Spending

Based on news items I read, consumer spending is top in the list of economic generator in our country. Based on this fact, I started brainstorming about how I can help to improve our economy.  As an ordinary person, I believe I can do only 2 things: No. 1, by buying products made in America and No. 2, by using the power of the Internet to get as many people as possible involved to do the same.

This morning, I went to Home Depot to buy a replacement garden faucet. Lo & behold! The only faucet available is (your guess is right, IF YOU DID) MADE IN CHINA.

During my brainstorming, I determined that there is a lot of causes of the problems that need to be addressed to help our country get back to its feet. The causes of the problems, I believe, are as follows:
(1) We, the consumers. (2) Unionized power, (3) Corporate greed  and (4) Our election laws.

This is my first posting to test if there are concerned citizenz like me who are willing to give some of their time to help our country gets back to its feet.

LET US WAKE UP, AMERICA!
