God Bless America! I am passing on this email from my friend and Yoga student Todd who supports everything made in America.
Happy July 4th! Enjoy and please stay safe!
Why
do Korea, Japan, China, and Germany purposely run large surpluses of
exported manufactured goods? It is government policy for these nations
because, unlike Washington, they have not forgotten about the economic
multiplier effect.
One dollar worth of a manufactured item
purchased adds about 1.7 times that items value in positive economic
activity. Consider not just employees at the factory that made the
item, but all the suppliers and companies that support them. All have
individual employees that are touched by that purchase and in turn they
go out and spend money too! "Multiplier" is the word literally because
the good is "multiplied" well beyond the initial purchase.
Service
jobs are needed too, but have a much lower multiplier effect of about
1.2 times the dollar spent. The rate is lower because they have a lot
fewer suppliers. This is a key reason why service jobs cannot evenly
replace good manufacturing jobs. A community that manages to replace
1000 manufacturing jobs with 1000 service jobs will find itself much
poorer as there is simply a lot less positive economic activity
generated.
The Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, and Germans support
not only their own economic growth, but also their whole model on
exporting manufactured goods in order to take advantage of this
multiplier. When Hyundai or Toyota sends a car over here, the benefits
to Korea or Japan are much more than just the price of that car.
Unfortunately,
the USA is the main export target of these four countries. We talk
about free trade, however, I have seen firsthand how hard it is for the
US to export there. Our borders and ports are wide open to foreign
products, but the game is stacked against us abroad.
The good
news is the multiplier effect allows us to do a lot more good as
individuals with our $1 spent on made in USA products. It actually
causes 1.7 times that amount in economic activity here in the USA. It
is like our own stimulus plan, except it works...
New Products:
Due
to popular demand, I have added the color "linen" to the Magnificence
towel line. Linen is a classy light beige that goes with many bathroom
colors. It is a nice alternative to white. The new towels are orderable
now, but due to ship from the mill in the next week or two. They will
be ready to ship to customers in early July. Made in Georgia.
We
have added some new, very cute boy's and infant's outfits from Little
Baron. Check out the new sheriff or park ranger outfit. He will have a
blast with it! Made in Florida.
Saf-T-Lite has added several new
products including a new version of their Stubby light that uses LED
light bulbs on either a 25' or 40' cord. These LED lights use one watt
of electricity and are rated to last 50,000 hours! In addition, they
have now added some cordless lights using these same LED bulbs and long
lasting batteries. These are the same guys that make the only heavy
duty extension cords that I know of still here in the USA. They really
know electrical goods. Made in Indiana.
What could be more
American than Mark Twain? We have added his classic books in audio
format read by a noted actor Richard Henzel as Mark Twain himself!
Available unabridged as download, MP3 CD or regular audio CD. Made in
Illinois.
New Hampshire Bowl has added two neat products hand
crafted in New Hampshire (where else?) - A moose shaped camp board made
from Rock Maple and a beautiful set of Cherry wood tongs. The tongs go
through 17 steps to reach perfection.
