Right now, in America, we are probably experiencing, at least what we are being told, the worst economic times since the 1930's.  Within the last year, the reports are saying that many people within our country have lost their job or are going through severe economic hardship.  Many hardworking citizens have lost their home and others are afraid that they will not be able to make ends meet for their families.  In the month of September alone it was reported that 159,000 jobs were lost, 84,000 lost in August.  Different ideas have been publicized on how we as citizens can do our part to help stimulate the economy.  One of the best ways to help our economy is to buy American made products.  There are currently about 293 million people living in the United States.  Richard Kemble, CEO of madeinusa.com, says "If each one would shift $20 a month in spending from foreign made products to American made products that would create 5 million new jobs.”  We have certainly heard all we can stand about bailouts and stimulus plans, but, no one in media has consistently discussed the possibilities from manufacturing and buying American made products.  If you are like me you unquestionably do care about the state of our financial system.  I submit that buying promotional products made in the USA can do a great deal in the efforts to strengthen our market.
