Buy American


It seems obvious that the idea of "buying American" is a good thing. Shouldn't we try to buy American made goods, especially during this period of recession and economic downturn? It could almost be seen as our patriotic duty to purchase American made goods. We would be saving American jobs, wouldn't we? Well what seems obvious is not always the economic truth. Read this blog post by Steve Latter. He makes some very good points about free trade, and the evils of protectionism.
