To support what was made in America.
I completely agree with you!
Well said, General.
I know what you’re saying about size selection.
I’ve found that smaller sizes are hard to come by these days. If you wear XL, XXL, XXXL, or even XXXXL in some cases, you can find plenty.
A Penneys salesgirl told me if I find something I like in a small, I should grab it now and bring it back later if I have to, because they’re heading toward the larger sizes. But like you, I think Penneys’ merchandise has taken a nose dive...I don’t go there anymore.
Years ago I was told the same by a sales gal at TJMaxx. She was right. GRAB IT!
The problem is, anymore anything which Americans buy, there is only a small portion of the cost which actually stays in America.
Most everything is made now, in China.
That is where all the profits are going. To China.
...
The problem is we have an economy dominated by the government. See my tagline.
Not only that, since leaving corporate America I like to wear tee shirts with a pocket.
****************
Me too. Every now and then I dress up and put on a polo shirt. lol
More and more, it is appearing our big problem is our corporations, continue to offshore manufacturing.
We have been building up China now for over an entire generation.
Both parties.
Everyone is selling American companies, to China.
+1
I quit reading at “the interwebs”.
As long as the restrictive Federal regulations and taxes are in place, the companies won’t return.
I don’t know.
Right now we have (badly) gone overboard, both parties have been in the globalization game for so long nobody is paying the first bit of attention to America anymore.
At some point, things begin to come back.
I am still in a huge minority. Nobody in either party is saying we need to bring back American manufacturing.
But I say we need to bring back American manufacturing.
The biggest single concern, is which party will eventually adopt American jobs as their platform.
I am trying hard, to raise the issue for Republicans.
I fear, it will be democrats, who finally run with this.
America is hurting badly now, for jobs. We need to bring back jobs.
Jobs.
GOP bring back American jobs.
I think I get the picture: you see a problem, you don’t care to consider what caused it, and don’t care to consider a solution. Heck, when the economy finally does recover, you’ll be out of a job.
I’m sorry, but you sound like a broken record, and you still don’t seem to understand how to “bring back jobs.”
IF YOU WANT COMPANIES TO COME TO THE USA, YOU MUST AMEND THE TAX CODE AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK TO MAKE THE BUSINESS CLIMATE COMPETITIVE.
If you don’t do that, the companies are never coming back. Since neither party seems interested in tax code reform, I think you shouldn’t hold your breath waiting for manufacturing to return.
Four administrations, from both political parties, have been sending American jobs overseas now for more than an entire generation.
America is now nearly 18 trillion dollars in debt.
America needs jobs.
And you fail to see the link between sentence 1 and sentence 2. Moreover, “you’re not really interested.”
We go into recession. China takes a BIG hit. No more communists.
I am glad I am not the only one who noticed the awful clothes. Flimsy, material. Ugly big ole flowers. Low cut for everyday use.
Also the shoe prices way up. Going shopping is no fun anymore.
I do, now, LOL.
(Wish I could have luck finding good stuff at T.J. Maxx)!
Everything reaches a limit.
Right now, America needs to rebuild.
Bring back American jobs, and manufacturing. Stop importing everything from China.
Last year we imported 440 billion dollars of goods from China.
Last year we only exported 122 billion dollars of goods, to China.
This huge trade imbalance, is now happening every single year.
(and our debt, continues to skyrocket)
18 trillion dollars, almost.
