This is quoted from what someone commented on the CNN report, and I agree with them to be honest.
" If you buy American-made products, you:
-- Employ an American, helping to decrease unemployment.
-- Add a person to our tax roles, helping to decrease our federal tax deficit.
-- Help an American to make their mortgage payments, reducing the number of bankruptcies and foreclosures.
-- Add another consumer to our economy who then can afford to buy other products and services, helping to fuel more economic growth.
Or, you can buy from abroad, and have all of the opposite effects "
