Letter to the Editor

We should make firms buy American

Wednesday, April 2, 2008

Dear editor:

It seems apparent we may be heading for a great depression. The American dollar is below the Euro. The only way to combat this inequity is to insist the large corporations and China that we purchase from, not only buy an equal amount of products marked "Made in the USA," but ten percent more. If they don't do this, they will have our great country bankrupt. We should not do any business with them unless there is a more equitable exchange.

Many of you don't remember the great depression when long lines of men and women stood in line at soup kitchens because they had no food, no jobs and no homes.

I would like to encourage everyone who loves this country to write to your congressmen, senators and representatives to do something to keep this country fiscally strong.

Jack Streeter
