What about supporting the most valuable agricultural crop in the country, good ole dope?
Of course it wouldn’t be worth marketing were it NOT ILLEGAL.
Gotta be a lesson there, similar to that which should be taken from the Iraq fiasco, that it is cheaper to buy oil than try to steal it.

I spent mine in a new Aimpoint COMPM4s.
Strictly for social work mind you.

Support your local brewery.

Try: Goose Island, Rogue, Three Floyds, Bells… Sam Adams and Anchor Steam included, but Budweiser? Yuch. No way, but I will stick with one of the many fine crafted beers or ales from the good ole US of A (Not quite the quality level in Belgium, but maybe one day…) Stop the Bud Lite madness.

Thats such a dumb quote. Regardless whether you think free trade is good or not, America is still the #2 or #3 manufacturer in the world. And the only countries that are above us are India and China (Actually, I am not even sure if India is above us). And they SHOULD produce more given the fact that they have 3-5x as many people as us.

Anyway, this is all such simplified thinking. Besides the fact that we are like #2 or #3 in the world in manufacturing, why shouldn’t people be able to make things whereever and whenever they want to. By what right will you stop them? And whats your solution? Tariffs? There is an ingenious idea. Sure has worked in the past hasn’t it?

I think these rebate checks are just a bandaid-and a small one at that. Oil is at $139 a barrel. The US economy has problems. Inflation, interest rates are on their way up-because of inflation. And the Fed has no good opinions. Their between a rock and a hard place. I think in ten years-the Euro zone central bank will look like they have done the best job.

Thanks, ottnot. I’ll give it a shot.

Henry, foreigners are smarter every day. They can research and design, too.
