"The
measure of the wealth of a nation is indicated by the measure
of its protection of its industry; the measure of the poverty
of a nation is marked by the degree in which it neglects and abandons
the care of its own industry, leaving it exposed to the action
of foreign powers." Congressman Henry Clay, 1824
I'm
one of those who fought against NAFTA, the North American Free
Trade Agreement (No American Factories Taking Jobs) because so
many of us knew what was going to happen: the total gutting of
our most important job sectors which provided good jobs, good
pay and job security. Here we are 20 years down the road with
massive trade imbalances, MILLIONS of jobs lost - all for cheap
labor for corporations who dumped on American workers. What a
bargain. Cheap, you say? Go to Macy's or other department stores
like Sears or Neiman Marcus and compare some rag on the hanger
from commie China, commie Hong Kong or Bangladesh. It is equal
to or MORE than the same or similar garment made here in America.
Go ahead and compare, I have. Maybe you can get
some sweats or tees at China (Wal) Mart cheaper, but either we
support America first or we will not survive.
We
continue to see recalls of products from Communist China. Gifts
from the East. Seafood full of dangerous antibiotics. Toothpaste
tainted with, love this one - an ingredient in antifreeze. Automobile
tires missing a key safety component. Years ago it was toys from
Communist China slicked with a
date rape drug.
Of
course, there's no malice or intent by the companies in China,
a Godless, communist country, putting a date rape drug in toys
to be sold in America. It's all just a mistake, not enough 'quality
control.' Right. That factory making toys for children in America
and somehow large quantities of a date rape drug just happens
to be in the work area where toys are being mass produced? Let's
not forget the million or so dogs and cats skinned ALIVE by "businessmen"
in Communist China every year who take the fur and put it in sweaters,
parkas and doll clothes which
gets shipped and sold illegally here in the U.S. The next
time you buy a $75 dollar sweater, a $250.00 ski parka or doll
clothes for a Christmas gift from Communist China, there's a good
chance it has dog or cat fur from a poor little creature skinned
alive. Don't believe those labels because they're lying.
How
about dangerous prescription drugs being consumed by you or your
family?

In
July 2013, the lying communist Chinese regulators promised
to crack down. Really? Then why are toxic dog treats still
coming to America and killing people's beloved pets?
Jerky
treat mystery: Nearly 600 pets dead; still no source, FDA says/
Oct. 2013: "Nearly 600 pets have died and more than 3,600 have
been sickened in an ongoing, mysterious outbreak of illnesses
tied to jerky treats made in China, federal animal health officials
said Tuesday."
No
source? The stinking communists are in collusion with other barbarians
in foreign countries to ship their poison to US. Companies like
Purina sold out American workers and now their products come
back to the U.S. to sicken pets. "The FDA has issued a warning
for all pet food treats made in China. But pet guardians should
be aware that pet food manufacturers are not required to list
the country of origin for each ingredient used in their pet products."
I have never given any of my dogs anything from communist China.
Free
trade. The toxic financial suicide that has killed our most important
job sectors: manufacturing, industrial and agriculture. Over the
past twenty years since NAFTA (No American Factories Taking Applications),
Americans have continued to reelect the same traitors back
to the Outlaw Congress (Boehner, Pelosi to name two) who
have destroyed the middle class in this country while enriching
themselves and their corporate campaign donors. Thank Newt Gingrich
for pushing it through Congress, Comrade Bill Clinton for signing
that unconstitutional "agreement" into law and Rush Limbaugh for
pumping it's passage on his radio show. Millions and millions
and millions of good, secure jobs gone; NAFTA was just the beginning
of the carnage as more and more "free" trade treaties have been
passed.
China
is NOT Our Friend
"If
you believe that China is our “friend”, then you have been deceived.
While U.S. politicians, the mainstream media and the U.S. military
may consider China to be a “friend” and a “partner”, the Chinese
see things very, very differently. As you will see below, documents
produced at the highest levels of the Chinese government make
it abundantly clear that China considers the United States to
be a mortal enemy."
Damn
those members of the Outlaw Congress who granted MFN (Most Favored
Nation) trade status to our mortal enemy, communist China. They
scheme to financially ruin us while smiling for photo ops. They
ship us products that make Americans sick if not kill them and
our pets. It is the intention of Communist China to destroy the
U.S. while the American people continue to throw buckets of money
at them by buying the cheap crap they ship here. STUPID
Americans who sell property and businesses to communists in China.
All for filthy lucre while selling out their own country. Read

In
September of this year, the deal closed: Smithfield
Foods was sold to the stinking commies. An American icon pork
producer now owned by our mortal enemy:
"The
purchase of Smithfield was the largest Chinese investment in a
U.S. company, with the deal valued at $7 billion, including $4
billion in cash. Shuanghui will now have access to food science
secrets that were proprietary to Smithfield Foods. It can use
this technology to directly impact competition with other U.S.
food companies."
The
ONLY way to send a clear message is to BOYCOTT Smithfield Foods
from this day on. Don't buy any product with their name on it.
I'm sorry for the people who work for Smithfield, but we
must stop the communists from getting an even bigger foot hold
in OUR country.
What
tens of millions of Americans don't understand but should is trade
deficits. More than 2.7 million jobs lost from 2001 to 2011 due
to U.S. trade deficits with Communist China. Every state in the
Union affected. Manufacturing jobs: 2.1 million, close to 80%
with service industries also getting the ax.
From
Todd Lipscomb, Founder of MadeinUSAForever.com:
"Our
nation is arcing towards decline on several fronts involving deficits.
Large deficit spending by the government that involves either
printing money or borrowing abroad cannot be sustained. However,
just as vital is the drain our trade deficit puts on the economy.
Both are more intertwined than many realize. Simply put, the less
we make in our nation, the more the government must borrow to
try to sustain spending. The trade deficit leads to national insolvency.
"Yet,
the opposite is true, too: the MORE we make in our nation, the
less the government has to borrow. When we buy more of what our
people make, we put them to work without the government needing
to spend on a stimulus plan. Those folks get off of welfare (less
government spending), start paying taxes (reducing the budget
deficit) and have the opportunity to at least have a shot at what
it is supposed to mean to be American.
"Even
a small move would make a tremendous difference. If, for instance,
10% of our people would shift one or two purchases a month to
Made in USA, it would create hundreds of thousands of jobs! However,
if we took it to the next level, we would really heal this great
nation and stop the decline!"
Todd
also wrote this absolute truth two months ago: Federal Debt and
Trade Deficit are Intertwined
"As
the battle over the Washington's budget deficit heats up again,
it is timely to point out that even a partial solution to the
trade deficit would be a huge source of government revenue without
raising taxes. Presently, the billions of dollars that leave our
economy daily mean not only fewer jobs at USA factories and their
suppliers, but also much less tax revenue collected at every level
of government.
"For
example, if a factory that employs 10,000 Americans moves to Asia,
we're not just putting Americans out of work. We're also losing
all the taxes those employees would have paid, those the workers
at their suppliers would have paid, and so on. That web of economic
activity not only disappears, but so do the tax revenues that
would have been collected!
"Thus,
the more that is Made in USA, the more tax revenue the government
collects. Indeed, the correlation between the rise of the budget
deficit (excluding Social Security transfers) and the trade deficit
since 1970 is very tight. We not only vote USA when we purchase
Made in USA, we add tax revenue to the government without raising
taxes!"
The
impostor in the White House is pushing like the Devil he is to
finally destroy this country through a very secretive trade treaty.
Make no mistake: Dirty Harry Reid and the other traitors in the
U.S. Senate and likely John Boehner who has given Barry Soetoro
aka Obama everything he's wanted in trade treaties the past few
years selling out his constituents in Ohio as well as the rest
of America, will be happy to hand that Marxist what he wants:
Obama’s
Super Secret Treaty Which Will Push The Deindustrialization Of
America Into Overdrive - Trans-Pacific Partnership. So secret
most members of the Outlaw Congress can't even look at the language.
"Did
you know that Barack Obama has been secretly negotiating the most
important trade agreement since the formation of the World
Trade Organization? Did you know that this agreement
will impose very strict Internet copyright rules, ban all "Buy
American" laws, give Wall Street banks much more freedom to trade
risky derivatives and force even more domestic manufacturing offshore?
If you have not heard about this treaty, don't feel bad. Obama
has refused to even give Congress a copy of the draft agreement
and he has banned members of Congress from attending the negotiations.
The plan is to keep this treaty secret until the very last minute
and then to railroad it through Congress and have it signed into
law by October."
The
only thing that's stopped Comrade Obama is the massive catastrophe
called Obamacare. The U.S. House will be in their districts Nov.
22nd - Dec. 2nd and then Dec. 14th - Dec. 31st. Likely the Senate
will be gone the same days on our dime. Call your critters district
office and find out where they will be and get to every public
event you can. If you belong to a tea party chapter or 9-12 or
any other patriotic group, get to the events and also try to get
a personal meeting with your congress critter. Not only bring
down the house over Obamacare, but tell he/she they will not survive
their primary next year if they vote for the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
All the house is up for reelection, but only 1/3rd of the dirt
bag senate, so check to see
if your senator is Class II - they're the ones to target.
Let
me remind Americans under the age of 40:
Full
page ad, NY Times, April 15, 1994: 1944. Bretton Woods:
The IMF and the World Bank. 1945. San Francisco: The United Nations.
1994, Marrakech: The World Trade Organization. History knows where
its going. The final act of the Uruguay Round....to the WTO, the
third pillar of the New World Order, along with the UN and the
IMF." Henry Kissinger, a
tried and true traitor and Soviet agent recently said when
asked the most important role Marxist Obama can play regarding
the middle East: "Obama can give a new impetus to American foreign
policy....his task is to step forward to create a new world."
In
2000, John Boehner and Nancy Pelosi killed our shot at getting
out of the World Trade Organization. America has suffered greatly
since and we will into the future if we don't elect people to
Congress who fully understand FREE TRADE DOES NOT WORK and get
us out of all those "free" trade treaties. It has been killing
us financially for almost 20 years. Outsourcing is the popular
moniker for killing American jobs; you and I end up being raped
in more taxes for this:
Job
losses attributed to outsourcing
Feds give laid-off Boeing workers a big helping hand - August
1, 2013
"Local
Boeing workers who've lost their jobs will receive substantial
additional federal unemployment benefits after two unions at the
company sought aid under a program for employees laid off due
to outsourcing and foreign trade. Thanks to a federal program
lined up by their unions, local workers laid off during the current
dip in employment at Boeing Commercial Airplanes will enjoy a
financial cushion that's much, much plumper than what the average
unemployed state resident gets.
“Compared
to what Joe Worker gets when they get laid off, our members have
a pretty extensive safety net,” said Connie Kelliher, spokeswoman
for the International Association of Machinists (IAM). The U.S.
Department of Labor has approved Boeing workers — union or nonunion,
production workers or engineers — laid off between April 2012
and June 2015 for a package of benefits that includes drawing
unemployment pay for up to 2ý years, rather than the regular six
months."
Whores
in the Outlaw Congress pass "free" trade treaties that kill American
jobs then steal from you and me to give them extra financial perks
without a scintilla of constitutional authority. I have nothing
against Boeing workers. But, it is not my responsibility to pay
your unemployment. That is a function of state legislatures under
the Tenth Amendment. Congress destroys jobs then turns right around
and unconstitutionally rapes us in more taxes to pay the very
workers they caused to lose their jobs.
What
does create good paying jobs for Americans? Not Congress and not
a lawfully elected president. Consumer spending creates
jobs and until the American people stop buying as much as possible
junk from foreign countries, there will be no jobs except minimum
wage or pushing paper for our mortal enemies like Communist China.
Go
watch this short video (3:42 seconds): Million
American Jobs Project - "By taking a fraction of our spending
and buying US-made goods, we'll create a economic tidal wave."
Not
"green" jobs which have unconstitutionally cost we the people
hundreds of millions of dollars stolen from us and given to companies
that had zero chance of making it. Yes, I am for conservation,
but in a free market system, you don't steal from we the people
to give to individuals who make big political donations to presidential
candidates or the whores in the Outlaw Congress. Want to create
millions of jobs? Buy American made cars and SUVs, not Toyota,
Nissan or other foreign brands. Purchasing from them continues
to run up the trade deficit killing us. Please, understand
how important that is to our economy. I own a Ford Escape Hybrid
as does my daughter. We've both had two of that model. The best
vehicle I've ever owned. Sadly, there will be no more. That hybrid
was discontinued Dec. 31st last year. Not enough Americans would
invest in American jobs and a super fine product.
I
get so sick of saying you can't find Made in USA. Not true. In
the Made
in USA section on my web site you will find web site for thousands
and thousands of products made right here. I keep adding as companies
contact me. Those companies want your business.
I buy from the list 90% of the time I need to purchase something.
If I can't find Made in America, I go without as I have done since
1994 when NAFTA was shoved down the throats of a disinterested
nation. I am ever so pleased things are beginning to turn around:
'Made
in the USA' Making a Comeback (March 2013)
"A
curious thing is happening among American shoppers. More people
are taking a moment to flip over an item or fish for a label and
ask, is it "Made in the USA?"
"Walmart
(WMT), the nation's largest retailer, earlier this year announced
it will boost sourcing of U.S. products by $50 billion during
the next 10 years. General Electric (GE) is investing $1 billion
through 2014 to revitalize its U.S. appliances business and create
more than 1,500 U.S. jobs.
"Mom-and-pops
are also engineering entire business strategies devoted to locally
made goods - everything from toys to housewares. And it's not
simply patriotism and desire for perceived safer products which
are altering shopping habits.
"The
recession, and still flat recovery for many Americans, have created
a painful realization. All those cheap goods made in China and
elsewhere come at a price -- lost U.S. manufacturing jobs. A growing
pocket of consumers, in fact, are connecting the economic dots
between their shopping carts - brimming with foreign-made stuff
-- and America's future."
The
Insourcing Boom (Do read)
"After
years of offshore production, General Electric is moving much
of its far-flung appliance-manufacturing operations back home.
It is not alone. An exploration of the startling, sustainable,
just-getting-started return of industry to the United States."
School
district urges: 'Buy American' in 2012
INDIAN
RIVER COUNTY — "It started as a test by ABC News to build a home
made entirely of American-made products. But it's grown to include
a challenge to large purchasers of goods to think "Made in America"
and help in the country's economic recovery. Indian River County
School District purchasing director Rick Chuma likes the idea
of buying American."
Out
of stock here: All imports - New York store dedicated to 100%
domestic merchandise
"When
it comes to the commitment to carrying 100 percent made-in-America
merchandise, few stores measure up to the MadeInAmericaStore.com
in Elma, New York."
"Since
opening day on April 3, 2010, Made
in America Store owner Mark Andol has been able to boast that
all of the products in his brick-and-mortar store are 100 percent
made in USA. The Made in America Store offers hundreds of products
from more than 50 patriotic vendors so the American consumer can
patronize American products to support the U.S. economy. If there's
one thing that the economic downturn has taught us, it's that
Americans can use the power of their pocketbook to buy American-manufactured
goods, thereby creating more American jobs."
How
many years I have kept pounding on this keyboard in my columns:
If you can't find Made
in USA tell the retailer you want a quality product
made here by Americans workers and sorry, but I'll shop
on line. They're getting the message.
Know
who's making this happen? You, me, our family members, friends
- we consumers. WE are the ones making the difference by refusing
to buy foreign products. Do I buy any? Yes, because I am not against
fair trade. I purchase Trilogy
Certified Organic Rosehip Oil. It's the first thing I put
on my face when doing the make up thing. I also use their face
cream. Those two products are for me, the finest, purest products
on the market, no animal testing used; the company is in New Zealand.
But, everything else except this computer is
made in this country by American workers or I simply go without.
Folks
are starting their Christmas shopping. Shopping on line does take
a little time so you need to order in advance to make sure the
item arrives before Christmas. If you find something on line,
but don't have time to order, call the company and ask them where
the nearest retail outlet is to your zip code. Every time you
buy one product made in America you help the economy by keeping
our fellow Americans employed - not workers in foreign countries.
We became the greatest debt free nation on this earth because
we manufactured what we needed and kept the money in OUR country
by buying everything we need here. Other countries can do the
same thing and prosper; America's
Protectionist Takeoff 1815-1914: The Neglected American School
of Political Economy by Michael Hudson.
Will
you make the commitment to buy Made in America this Christmas
and in the future? It's up to us to rebuild what we once had that
benefited all Americans, not political parties or our enemies
like communist China. We have the solution. Please pass it along
to friends and family. I know money is awfully tight for tens
of millions. Christmas gift giving can be painful and embarrassing
for those hurting financially, but you don't have to give cheap
junk from communist China. Maybe make a family gift like a gift
certificate to your local museum. Most have wonderful programs
all year long and a family gift certificate can cost as little
as $50.00 a year. The money stays in your community creating jobs.
Thousands
of products including toys made here. I've had that section
up on my site for more than a decade. If you manufacture here,
I will list your company; there is absolutely no charge, never
has been. It doesn't matter if you are a single proprietor making
jewelry or a larger company employing hundreds. All I want is
to help keep Americans employed. Remember: The more we buy Made
in USA, the more competitive the market becomes and prices get
lower.
