Always a sad task when I have to remove a company from the products made in the USA directory. Today I was informed by a site visitor that a long time listing on our site no longer makes their products in America. I won't name the company as I have no desire to shame anyone, however I recall how excited they were to be on our site.
On the upside traffic to our site is increasing and people are still requesting to be listed every day. Remember American Made, Americans Paid!

Light bulbs made in the USA? Could it be?
Did you know you can still buy incandescent light bulbs that are Made in the USA. Yes that's right, today we added a company to our site that makes light bulbs right here at home.
Also added today to the Made in the USA directory were baby clothes, stoneware, and men and women's clothing all made in America.
Don't forget when you keep your money in the USA you help keep jobs in the USA.

Are we going to get tough with China?
According to many media reports the US Government has directly accused and charged several Chinese officials with spying on and stealing trade secrets from US companies via hacking.
American companies have been complaining about this for years and no one has done anything. One of the many things that separates the US from other parts of the world is we protect a persons inventions and ideas. This is one of the ways people that came from nothing can improve their lives and become successful maybe even creating generational wealth.
The Chinese government has long been accused of these practices and really stealing directly from American inventors. One important thing to keep in mind and think about. China does not want to just make cheap goods for the rest of the world, to be laborers for other companies. They wish (as they should) to own the companies that create the goods. That is normal and nothing wrong with that unless you are stealing the technology to make that possible.
This is just another reason to keep your money in the US and keep your job in the US. Buy American Made and Americans get paid!

Mermorial Day is a great time to think American Made
This weekend is Memorial Day, which so much of the country has been treating as a time to have a sale or just a three day weekend. For me it is the ultimate American Made Holiday as the men and women we are remembering built our freedom, they made America.
Remember who the muscle behind the mouth, the way behind the will. My family and I will remember you this weekend. We are going to play baseball and assemble freely!

New report suggest US businesses are being deystroyed
According to the Washington Post "U.S. businesses are being destroyed faster than they’re being created"
The article goes on to read "The American economy is less entrepreneurial now than at any point in the last three decades. That's the conclusion of a new study out from the Brookings Institution, which looks at the rates of new business creation and destruction since 1978.
Not only that, but during the most recent three years of the study -- 2009, 2010 and 2011 -- businesses were collapsing faster than they were being formed, a first. Overall, new businesses creation (measured as the share of all businesses less than one year old) declined by about half from 1978 to 2011." Source http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2014/05/05/u-s-businesses-are-being-destroyed-faster-than-theyre-being-created/?hpid=z5
I hope this serves as a wake up call for all of us to look inward to what we can do. We can help our fellow American workers when we vote with our dollars. Not only does it help our fellow workers but it helps the country when another worker is employed and paying taxes.
Don't forget when you are out and about shopping look for the Made in the USA label because when it is American made, Americans were paid.
