Canada Increasingly a Gateway for Undocumented Polish Immigrants Entering the U.S. [150]
Are we consuming our own products? Who is benefiting from cheap Chinese goods which Americans have to borrow money from foreign entities (Japan and China) to to finance?
Import people, logistics, retail, state governments , municipalites all benefit from Asian goods coming in. However, I agree we should start demanding American made goods.. or at the very least N. American goods, given the reciprocity between Canada and Mexico. At least they buy our stuff where the Asian just puts up tariffs and gives the middle finger to us.
I'm starting to notice nascent movements of "Buy American".. I'm very proud to say. I think this will continue.
Credit is NOT needed to survive
No, you don't but it's advantageous in case of emergencies. It's often justified in funding education.. home investments, etc. It shouldn't be relied on though.
On the wane, but still atrocious.
The point is that it's changing.. Mindsets aren't changed over night. Incrementally things have gotten better. At least the acceptance has come in that we have a problem.
