Want to be a job creator? 15% off USA made clothing

I don't make a dime off this post. I'm promoting jobs in the USA that pay taxes!

I love them...well made, fit great. My favorite is a T-shirt that says "NOT Made in China". The shipping was free, and customer service is right on top of things. A definite recommend!

A few more for the buy American plan:

I bought a very expensive and powerful Blendtec blender, that was made in Utah from 85% US parts. 3 hp and a 7 year warranty. It is way better than any of the chinese options. Also got a cast iron skillet from Lodge, made in Tennessee. Much better quality and surprisingly cheaper than the chinese one it replaced.

There are even foreign companies that have opened plants in the US because of shipping costs. Haier is a chinese firm that makes refridgerators in the US for the local market.
