Business Channel Fun Friday Post: Made in the U.S.A.

Do you buy products Made in the U.S.A.? Many people are starting to think that maybe we can help the US economy improve by purchasing products that are “Made in the U.S.A.” rather than mindlessly consuming products from abroad. (See a great poem about a “Made in China” boycott over at Leadership Turn.)

Today the B5 Media Business Channel is all about sharing what products we have that are “Made in the U.S.A.”

Most of the products we purchase are “Made in the U.S.A.” Except the electronics. I think close to 85% of our electronics are made somewhere else. On the other hand, we don’t actually have many electronics.

Here is a list of the stuff my family that has been proudly “Made in the U.S.A.”:

Our only car
80% of our clothing
95% of our food (well, it’s grown here — shop local!)
100% of our furniture
About 50% of our son’s toys

Are you buying items “Made in the U.S.A.”?

It certainly wouldn’t hurt. However, I don’t think it would magically save the economy, either.
