ONE AT A TIME
A physics teacher in high school once told the students that while one
grasshopper on the railroad tracks wouldn't slow a train very much, but
a billion of them would. With that thought in mind, read the following
written by a citizen who's concerned about America's jobs:

This probably sounds crazy, but just yesterday I was in Wal Mart looking
for a wastebasket. I found some made in China for $6.99. I didn't want
to pay that much so I asked the lady if they had any others.. She took
me to another department and they had some at $2.50 made in USA .. They
are just as good. Same as a kitchen rug I needed. I had to look, but I
found some made in the USA and they were $3.00 cheaper. We are being
brain washed that everything that comes from China and Mexico is
cheaper. Not so. That is also why I don't buy cards at Hallmark anymore.
They are made in China and are expensive. I buy them at Dollar
Tree....50 cents each and made in USA .

Carla, I do the same thing. And, contary to so many Wally World
boycotters, the majority of things sold at Walmart are Made in the
USA. http://goo.gl/McgyX Many manufacturers in the USA are getting
savvy and finding local outlets for their products again rather than
trying for gigantic, far-away sales. It's keeping 'em honest. Kudos!

possible.)
