We all know the wave of the financial meltdown is affecting every aspect of living in the USA today, as well as abroad, and as a business, let me tell you, we too feel it.  Yes, we hear reports of some movement in the economy, but at the moment the majority of us are not feeling it.  However, I’m here to tell you, if this great country of ours made it through the Great Depression, the World Word II phenomenon, the Vietnam War, the stagflation of the 1970′s, the savings and loan debacle in the 1980′s, the dot.com crashes in the 1990′s, and 911, then we will surely pull ourselves up by our bootstraps again in this new century and survive! 

Personally, I believe we all need to refocus our attention and look at what and where we place our values. True, we need to do our part in job creation here in America and we have millions of people ready, willing, and able to work.  Granted, they would like to get paid for the work they do and at a rate that will support their families.  Not that the folks over-seas don’t want to make a living, but haven’t we given away enough jobs overseas already?  Think of the entire ‘family’ that is being fed when one family member works! 

My recommendation is that when we go shopping for those things that make us feel good and make our life at home more comfortable, think of Buying American Made!  Yes, these items may cost a little more, but you know they will last a lot longer AND you can say you helped support the economy by buying something an American worker made.  Now wouldn’t that make you feel good? 

The question remains, where can you buy Made in America products?  Why, Pick My Decor of course!  Each Made in the USA product we offer is keeping an American worker working and feeding his/her family with each product purchased.  Think about it.
