Don't wait for Government to create jobs

We don’t need to wait for government to find a way to create American jobs. The solution is in the hands of every consumer: Buy American-made products. Use your dollars to reward companies that pay Americans to work. Don't reward companies for creating jobs in other countries when its possible for the jobs to be done here.


"Buying American" is not free: you'll generally pay more for an American-made product than for an import. But the benefits are multiplicative when American workers use their money to buy American products. You use money from your American job to pay a little more to fund American workers, and they do the same. The economy grows, and the country benefits. The benefits justify the additional cost.

The money each of us have is from American jobs (our jobs!) We should use our money in a way that sustains the system that gave us a way to earn it.

The best thing about this idea is that it doesn't involve government. We can and should still argue about improving government policies, but solving the problem doesn’t have to wait. The power is already in our hands. Job creation is important. Important things are worth paying for. Pay a little more to buy American products, and help support or create American jobs. You don't have to wait for the next election in order to make a difference.
