Correct. Like I said, GW tried it again and it created more problems than solved.
I think that if I were running for President, it might be a good policy to have more obvious identification on American made products. You know, like a big flag on the packaging of the product or something.
After all, when was the last time you went shopping and searched the carton to see where it was made? Probably never--just like most of us.
Our focus is on price and price only. If you have two big-screen televisions you may want to buy, both have the exact same features, are you going to buy the American television set for $1,800, or are you going to buy the foreign made set for $1,300? Chances are you will by the $1,300 set and never even look where it was manufactured.
So your solution is to create new packaging laws and regulations. Republicans won't even pass a law to require GMO's be clearly labelled, even though the public is screaming for this, because it will increase costs to the suppliers.
It may, but it's just a start. Perhaps if we as American consumers were more conscious about where our products are made, it might make some people think.
After all, the solution to our jobs problem is to purchase what we make over here. But I don't think it should be done by government force.
