If Uncle Sam wants you to spend your money on USA made products why not make them affordable first??!?

Question

With the new rebate checks going out with our tax returns just for the sole purpose of trying to get people to spend their money on USA made products, why not first make those items affordable?? Most usa made products are too costly for those people who are living almost check to check. Which is sad that most americans are, but we do exsit. I would have no problem putting my money back into american made products if they werent so high priced. Right now if I can get something at the dollar store or Walmart im okay.

Answer 2

You can afford the dollar store or Walmart?  You make the big bucks.  Are they hiring at your company? Its goodwill and garage sales for me.

Answer 3

Haggard put it best "they love our milk and honey but talk about some other way of living," As someone else put it, USA made goods would be more affordable if we settled for lower wages. Lets be honest that ain't gonna happen. I also agree with making things a more level playing field by maybe adding taxes to imported goods.

Answer 4

Actually if you consider longevity most American made goods are well worth the money-I buy mostly American tools as they are only a little bit more costly but made to a much higher standard and last longer. This also saves energy because if you have to make a cheap tool three times that's three times the energy plus the need to go to the store to purchase it. I still have kitchen ladles, mixers, etc, that were made when I was a child-all made here. The Chinese stuff lasts a year or two and you can toss it. Its' a shame Consumers were tricked into buying these shoddy goods.

Answer 5

american products' prices would be reasonable if you worked for 25 cents an hour like the chinese do.

Answer 6

There is not muck made in the USA anymore because the unions have out priced the American workers and NAFTA has allowed the manufactures to leave or out source the jobs You can blame the Unions and the politicians for this.

Answer 7

If we would strengthen our labor unions internationally we'd have a level playing field for trade. Not to mention we'd no longer be taking advantage of and exploiting other people and their environments.

If labor was more of a level field globally, there would be less incentive for companies to set up shop overseas to begin with.

BTW, If America is the moral country that some profess, we wouldn't be just the arsenal of democracy but also the arsenal of fair labor.
