MADE IN THE USA, AMERICAN MADE, MADE IN AMERICA–USE TO BE A UNIVERSAL SIGN OF QUALITY

Just a ramble in the early morning before the dogs and I go out for our (almost) daily adventure.  Why is it when that the desire for ‘American’ made goods is still there but we don’t seem to want to produce the quality that ‘American made’ stood for?  I’m so willing to pay a little more, eat a little less, and do what is needed to keep America happening.  Whenever we traveled people always came up to us to buy whatever we had; not that we were selling anything, we just looked like Americans in their eyes.  How to explain in a language that I don’t speak, most of our apparel was not made in the U.S.  What a shame–we did stand for quality, now and probably always the essence is “bottom line.”  Wish it was a combo of pride and profit instead of only profit.

Big business wants to make us a third world nation of workers, not the dream, the American dream of rising to better oneself.

End of rant, off to the snow covered Mts. to run the dogs.
