Our Economy In A Nutshell

[rockhound]

-
some of you may have seen this, my dad just sent it to me, put it out there pretty plain eh,




John Smith started the day early having set hisalarmclock
(MADE IN JAPAN )
for 6 am ..


While his coffeepot

(MADE IN CHINA)

was perking, he shaved with his

electric razor

(MADE IN HONG KONG)

He put on a

dress shirt

(MADE IN SRI LANKA),

designer jeans

(MADE IN SINGAPORE)

and

tennis shoes

(MADE IN KOREA)

After cooking his breakfast in his new

electric skillet

(MADE IN INDIA)

he sat down with his

calculator

(MADE IN MEXICO)

to see how much he could spend today. After setting his

watch

(MADE IN TAIWAN )

to the radio

(MADE IN INDIA )

he got in his car

(MADE IN GERMANY )

filled it with GAS

(from Saudi Arabia )

and continued his search

for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.

At the end of yet another discouraging

and fruitless day

checking his

Computer

( made in MALAYSIA ),

John decided to relax for a while.

He put on his sandals

(MADE IN BRAZIL ),

poured himself a glass of

wine

(MADE IN FRANCE )

and turned on his

TV

(MADE IN INDONESIA ),

and then wondered why he can't

find a good paying job

in AMERICA


AND NOW HE'S HOPING HE CAN GET HELP FROM A PRESIDENT


MADE IN KENYA

My coffee is made in an actual percolator that I made out of scrap steel.
My truck was designed by Americans (vehicle by Ford, engine by IH), and manufactured in America.
Almost everything I wear says "Made in USA" on the tag.

It ain't much, but I do what I can. I'll pay more for something made in America.
Unfortunately I can't control where my fuel comes from, I can't find coffee that's made in the USA (suggestions?), and I can only do so much as far as groceries go, but...

Only American coffee that I can think of would be from Hawaii probably. Kona Coffee I think is Hawaii.

My coffee is American. "Kona Sunrise", Whole Bean, from the Hawaiian Isles, birthplace of President Obama. Found at military commissaries throughout the USA. You got to have a good start on your day...

Not everything needs to be, nor should be American.

Not everything needs to be, nor should be American.

Like Swiss watches, German cars, or Greek food Choices are good!
