For US citizens, purchasing American-made products is beneficial for a number of reasons. In keeping with the patriotic spirit of this election week, here are some reminders as to why USA-made goods - both architectural and otherwise - are a smart choice:
1. AMERICAN ECONOMY - When you buy American, you support the economy by keeping the money in America. The profit from a product that was fabricated domestically goes to those who created it. These working Americans then spend that income on goods that are (ideally) American-made. The cycle continues, thereby stimulating economic growth.
2. HIGHER PRODUCT STANDARDS - Many foreign product standards are inferior to those in the United States. When you purchase American-made goods, you can be confident that safety standards and customer protection laws are set firmly in place to protect you and your family.
3. AMERICAN JOBS - For every manufacturing job, there are 5 additional jobs created. When you purchase American-made products, you create new jobs in America.
4. ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY - Unfortunately, not everyone is concerned about the planet. A great portion of manufacturing facilities overseas have few regulations to protect the environment. This makes for unnecessary pollution of soil, air and water. What's more, a large amount of energy and fuel is used when products are shipped from overseas.
