As an example, my son and I went into a  major retail chain store  in the Southern California Area. We noticed a rather large display which read," Made In America."  The were promoting the concept that they created, eight to thirteen new American jobs (I cannot remember the exact number).  How they created these  jobs was by  purchasing plastic cups made by a small American company.    Going on this basis, the small American company hired new employees to meet their needs. Very patriotic, huh. Just to make sure that their attempt at displaying their patriotic values were honest, we walked around and picked 5 surrounding items.  Four out of the five items were imported.

The problem is not that the other items were imported.  The problem is the deceit and how low some sectors of corporate America are willing to go. In my opinion this action by this large retail chainhad a lot of class, to bad it was all third.

I wonder how many more Americans would be working if those four items were made in America.  Why not put up a large display,We Cost Americans 200 Jobs by buying these four imported  items.

Some people may think that this is a little issue.  All I can say is that deceit, lies, and deception, is being to easily validated by the American people.  We do not wish to see anything until it truly affects us directly.  By then it maybe to late.
