Europe’s economic sickness has spread from Greece and Ireland to Italy their third largest economy. Not only does their government have to cover this year’s deficit, but also borrow hundreds of billions for debt coming due.
If Italy is too big to fail, then it is also too big to save should things not be set right immediately. France is far from being the savior, as they will soon have their own debt troubles.
The politicians are bobbing and weaving, although no one says it, the fact is that this disease is the same one that is undermining our own economy – deindustrialization.
The panic may spread to the USA, yet the disease is already here. We see it in thousands of factories that have closed and had their equipment sent to China, etc.
The issue is not that our politicians have been less adept at overspending, but that Japan, China, and Korea have been loaning our own money back to us to keep this façade going. Our hole is deeper, yet we have greatness on our side. We are the people that said NO to tyranny, to slavery, to inequality. Our ancestors created a civilization in the wild over a few short generations that brought freedom to the world.
That spark is alive and well in every state, in every city, and in so many of us.
It is time to take a stand. No matter how small, every one of us has a hand in the outcome. History will judge us over these next few years. Let us be remembered for the stand we took. How we were able to turn the darkness into renewal. Transform a cold winter into spring.
Buying made in USA products equals jobs and is key to getting our country back on track. It does not matter to me where you purchase your products, just that you buy American-made. Perhaps a farmer’s market, a local independent store, or from MadeinUSAForever.com’s 500 suppliers, just please join me in making it a Made in USA holiday.
We hold the power! We vote for the USA or for some other nation with every purchase!
