Just in time for Christmas. Some folks in Dandridge, TN came up with this. I'm not running an advertisement for this website, nor do I know these people, but I did want to let Freepers know there are alternatives to the Made in China, etc. products.

Please add your favorite Made in the USA websites to this post. I'd love to know of more like-minded shopping outlets. Personally, I'd rather go to the dentist than to shop so this makes it easy for folks like me.

Buy local from artisans, farmers, small mnf. all within 50 miles of home. Go to farmer’s markets, craft fairs, etc. Keep your money local. It is good for everyone.... well, except the Chinese.

I’ll choose US products if I can be guaranteed that my purchse in no way goes to further the goals of a union.

Great idea to buy US made products, but with Obama’s increasing regulatory burden, the cost of Obamacare for businesses and new taxes more US businesses will locate offshore or worse still close their doors.

I’d like to see the drop in govt spending, which would lead to less taxes and more jobs.... if the govt stopped supporting public sector pensions from the city level all the way up to the fed level (this would exclude military and social security)

considering 60% of federal spending goes to entitlements at the federal level... I wonder how much of the money the Feds send the states which also ends up paying pensions

economists say that if every one of us spent an extra $3.33 on U.S.-made goods every year, it would create nearly 10,000 new jobs in this country

Economists also said that Porkulus I and II would solve our economic malaise.

It's really simple - we're not going to have more jobs in the US until businesses feel comfortable to grow in the US. And not only the current regime, but the current tax system, is set to keep businesses from growing in the US.

Eliminate the corporate income tax, eliminate long-term capital gains taxes, and slash regulations - and we'd have no problem with job creation in the US.

Sorry, TennesseeGirl, but that's Keynesian nonsense. It assumes that jobs are created in a fixed ratio to consumer spending. It's the same formula Obama's geniuses used to estimate how many jobs their stimulus would create.

American jobs will be created when entrepreneurs no longer fear that their profits and capital will be taxed away and when the Fed stops inflating the dollar raising American prices and wages out of competitiveness with the rest of the world.

We can't spend our way out of this. All that said, go ahead and buy American. Just don't expect anything other than good feelings to result from it. The American government's created this problem -- not American citizens.

A noble sentiment. I must admit to having lost some enthusiasm for the "Buy American" mantra. I used to be big into it, but two things have soured that view somewhat:

1. Unions. I know, they've always been around and have always been anti-conservative for the most part, but lately they just seem to have gone bananas, especially since the election of Obangi (see below).

2. The coronation of Oscumwad. Any country that would have a majority of the electorate vote for an absolute, total creep like Barack Obbummah for the highest office in the land, well, I just don't know anymore. I know there are a great many good, decent people who did not vote for him who would be hurt by any anti-BuyAmerican sentiment, but just the thought that this country would choose such a total bum for its leader makes me wonder about the overall wisdom and judgment of the electorate.
