crappy economy and screwed middle class

The middle class consumer is what fuels the economy.  This has been proven time and time again.  We are always hearing "The consumer has to spend to bring the economy back."  Ok, let's spend.  Let's spend on only those things made in the USA by citizens of the United States.  It will take some careful research.  It will cost a little more for goods.  In the long run, we will send a message to the greedy corporations that we won't tolerate being screwed any more.  If we aren't good enough to make it, we aren't good enough to buy it.  We can do it.  We can fix our economy and bring back our jobs, but it is up to us.  If you can't find new, buy vintage.  I do.
