What is wrong with our country today? Everyone sits around complaining about the economy and waits for it to fix itself. People would bash the newest politicians out their than worry about what is happening in their own backyard. The crazy thing is that we have solutions to fixing our own local economies - there are studies that show how to fix the problems at home. Simply put - Shop Local. If your money stays local there are more jobs at home - more revenue in the local economies. Buy made in the USA when you can - but if you buy from a large chain store - most of your money still leaves your area. Large chain stores employ less people - get huge tax breaks - cost local communities to even be there. We are paying them less up front sometimes - but always paying more in the long run. When the local American population can wrap their heads around that then we will be on the right track again.
If you seriously think that Obama and Washington are ready to pull us out of this and have all the answers- then please - let me sell you a bridge in Brooklyn.
