Economic Report Summary: Plunging Home Prices and Consumer Confidence [View article]
ccerenz2 - Well said! Increasing taxes, simply increases the overall costs, reduces the money made. The more money companies and consumers have the more money that they spend and invest into the system. The back stop needs to be where they spend it. That money needs to be spent in the USA and into North America with our biggest trade partners. Perhaps its time to bring back a massive "Buy USA" or "Proudly Made in the USA" campaign.
The single greatest power out their is consumer spending. If consumers are unhappy with the economy they need to make better buying decisions. If they can start paying a little more to buy organic, surely they they can squeeze a little more to buy USA.
But the problem I have with my own statements is... what is made in the USA? Other then food, when was the last time you saw a product that did not say "Made in China".

China subsidizes gas... USA subsidizes corn (to the tune of $10B+)... all in an effort to lower the cost in subsequent down river products... lower gas in china make for lower production costs (so the US consume can have lower product cost on consumer imports)... cheap corn makes for cheap feedstock for cows, coca cola etc (so the USA can buy cheap fast food - and other things - have a litre of coke, and a triple patty for lunch and get fat)...
