I give my kids cash. That’s made in America. A lot of high end musical instruments are made in the U.S. by craftsmen. A lot of things sold on Etsy are made here. I bought some yesterday. My mutual funds are invested in mid-cap American companies. Plenty of their business is selling products overseas, but that’s good for America, right? If you buy something made in Mexico, you are providing jobs so workers can stay there and prosper, and many parts are from the US, and moving the products keeps truckers working. Same with Canada. They are our valued neighbors, and what is good for them often is good for us. Most of our food is made in America, too. How about a gift basket of handmade artisanal American cheeses, or a case of American wines or whiskies or vodkas?
