Walmart Launches Walmart Marketplace

From made in america to zebra mussels? Give me a break. With a huge chunk of this country out of work because of the economic crunch and the american car makers going bankrupt, no one can afford to be choosy. But let's look at the other side:

If we ONLY buy American, there go all those wonderful clothes that we don't make anymore, the shoes, the luggage, the furniture, the entertainment centers, computers, and the Ipods. And that's just for starters. Then we have to think about the 30% to 70% of the American cars that we don't build, those parts we get from overseas. And food... we get a LOT of things overseas that we don't grow here.

So assume we begin to build and produce and grow all our stuff (good word for this instance) here, and we stop buying any of it from other countries. We'll grow, we'll have jobs, and we'll hurt those nasty foreigners, won't we? And they'll move their nasty foreign cars (I'll really miss my MiniCooper, I swear!) and vile foreign products out of our country so we can produce more and build/grow them ourselves, jobs for our people. Right? RIGHT!

And then all those foreign countries will stop buying our products. And where will be then? Companies will cut production, jobs will be lost. And the pit will be surrounding us again.
