As our Government struggles with a weary economy, a growing budget deficit, and a high unemployment, at times it may appear that the solution is nowhere in sight. But in reality, the answer to our problems may have been right under our noses the entire time! The simplicity of the solution may even amaze you.

It all begins with you and me; together we can make a REAL difference with the small everyday choices that we make. The idea is very simple in its essence, when a consumer chooses to buy American-manufactured products, they are supporting American Jobs – the more products that are purchased, the more jobs are created. Simply using only 5% more American-made products in construction projects alone could create around 220,000 jobs! The cost of a home built with all American-made materials is just 1% higher than homes built with products made in other countries.

Although the upfront cost of an American manufactured item may be slightly higher than that of its counterpart, the quality is substantially greater. You may pay a little more initially, but when you compare the cost of the American-made product to the cost of having to replace the similar product manufactured off-shore once, twice, or however many times due to inferior quality and production, the winner is very clear. American made products are made to last and stand the test of time.

In the end, the American consumers are the ones who will determine where their money is spent and what country will benefit more from the direction of their buying power. By working together and buying American manufactured products, we can help to stimulate our economy, and create jobs on United States soil.
