The “Keep it Made in America” bus tour kicked off yesterday and may be headed to your state.
Several business associations in the U.S. collected their strength and put together an 11-state, 34-city, nationwide bus tour which began May 11 and ends May 14. The “Keep it Made in America” tour is sponsored by the Alliance for American Manufacturing, Mayors & and Municipalities Automotive Coalition, and the United Steelworkers.
The central facet of the tour is to raise awareness as to the importance of spending American money on American goods. It has become blatantly obvious that the “free trade” world has hurt the U.S. economy. By spending money outside of our own economy, we lose money and gain nothing; by spending it here we multiply the money in the system and gain long-term stability.
The main focus of the tour is the need to save the American auto industry. Our government has granted several billion dollars in loans to automakers, but it has never really taken a stand to guarantee their survival like it did for American banks.
