There is one thing that Americans can do that will have a tremendous effect.
In fact, it would not only increase employment but increase wages as well.
There is absolutely NOTHING that you can do that would even scratch the surface of what this will do.
Don't buy cheap foreign items from Wal-Mart, Cosco, KMart, Target etc. etc. etc.
Buy American when you can.
You will feel better about your purchase, it will likely be of better quality and last longer - and you can walk around with the knowledge that you help your fellow Americans rather than hurt them.
You can't/won't do this?
Then you have no right to complain about the economy.
If only the majority of us had the extra money for gas to allow us to truck all over town, spending hours looking for an American made product. And even if we're lucky enough to find one, chances are some of its components were made in China, etc. Your "solution" is a pipe dream.
As long as people like you think it is - then it will remain so.
I bought a Dishwasher, Washer and Dryer...all 3 American made...all three are in the same store as all of the other brands.
Gosh - it took me like 6 seconds to Google "American made dishwashers".
Yeah - took a lot of effort.
Wow, Maggie can Google!!
So, there are US manufacturers of dishwashers:
BSH, a subsidiary of Bosch. Germany, makes the Ascenta dishwasher in North Carolina. In 2004 BSH expanded the dish washing factory by an additional 100,000 square feet and in 2008 announced the production of an entirely new dishwasher line called Ascenta. All Bosch dishwashers sold in the USA are American made.
How very special.
