Are Americans As Dumb As We Appear??

Did you see the Diane Sawyer special report? They
removed ALL items from a typical, middle class family's
home that were not made in the USA .
 
There was hardly anything left besides the kitchen sink.
Literally. During the special they are going to show
truckloads of items - USA made - being brought in to replace
everything and will be talking about how to find these items
and the difference in price etc..
 
It was interesting that Diane said that IF every
American spent just $64 more than normal on USA- made items
this year, it would create something like 200,000 new jobs!
 
I WAS BUYING FOOD THE OTHER DAY AT WALMART and ON THE LABEL
OF SOME PRODUCTS IT SAID 'FROM CHINA'.  FOR
EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF MANDARIN ORANGES
SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN 'FROM CHINA.'   I WAS
SHOCKED SO FOR A FEW MORE CENTS I BOUGHT THE LIBERTY GOLD
BRAND OR THE DOLE SINCE IT'S FROM CALIF.
 
Are we Americans as dumb as we appear --- or --- is that we
just do not think while the Chinese, knowingly and
intentionally, export inferior and even toxic products and
dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets?
 
70% of American believe that the trading privileges
afforded to the Chinese should be suspended.  Why do
you need the government to suspend trading privileges?
 
DO IT YOURSELF, AMERICA!!
 
Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made
in China ' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong
Kong), simply choose another product, or none at all. You
will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products,
and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.
 
THINK ABOUT THIS: If 200 million Americans refuse to buy
just $20 each of Chinese goods, that's a four billion
dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor...fast!!
 
Most of the people who have been reading about this matter
are planning on implementing this on May 1st and continue it
until June1st. That is only one month of trading losses, but
it will hit the Chinese for 1/12th of the total, or 8%, of
their American exports. Then they might have to ask
themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it.
