Her article makes a lot of assumptions that if we bought american it would begin on a moments notice and we would have no options, this is a false argument considering it has taken nearly fifty years to out source our manufacturing. The idea that we should only buy american if the american good costs identicle to a import is a very strange idea. Considering that american workers tend to spend thier earnings in america and foriegn workers spend thier earnings in thier country. Also the premise that there would not be anything imported is also a false argument, we have been importing goods since the beginning of this nation.
This is a hit article on labor, progressives and citizens that want to suport thier country above others in a time of economic depresion.

Corporate shills have no soul and really hate americans and thier jobs, unless they make minumin wage. Not all of us went to Harvard Bitch.I read this article and it struck me as a corporate slam at american goods and... more
