Strictly USA Newsletter: July 2013


July 4th/ Independence Day:
As we get ready to celebrate July 4th/ Independence Day with our friends and families, it's important to reflect on what this holiday means. Basically it celebrates our independence from foreign rule and the establishment of our sovereign nation.

But are we really independent? Over the last decade, our reliance on inexpensive imported goods has skyrocketed as our factories have closed and many jobs have been lost. Think about it. In every area of our life, we rely heavily on imported goods. Other countries clothe us, wake us up in the morning, help us prepare meals, furnish our houses, provide our kids with toys and games, entertain us, enable us to communicate, allow us to play sports and more. More disturbingly, an increased amount of imported food/ produce is making it's way into our grocery stores. And perhaps the worst in my mind--we relied on other countries to outfit the United States Olympic team in London 2012. We can't even clothe our own athletes! Actually, that's not quite true: we can easily outfit our team head to toe, but the head decision makers in shady backroom deals decide to go with imports to save money and boost profits. Short sighted and greedy. It's shameful.

Bottom line, while our independence has been achieved on one front, American citizens are at the mercy of other countries to supply us with many of our daily needs. It's a very sad and potentially dangerous situation.
99% of what we wear everyday (shoes and clothes) is IMPORTED.
So, we ask again...are we really independent?
