We have everything at our fingertips that we need to create jobs and opportunities right here in the US, all we have to do is buy our own products! A builder from Bozeman, Mt named Anders Lewendal has built a home with All American made products. He is not only a builder, he holds a degree in economics and says that if every builder used 5% more American materials we would create 220,000 jobs right now.
On average, the US builds about 1.4 million homes each year at a construction cost of almost $2 trillion. If builders reallocate 5% of their construction spending to American made products, this would add roughly $10 billion to the American GDP. So what if every family in the US reallocated 5% of their spending to American products? This would translate into the creation of rougly 3 million jobs!

Outstanding. It is amazing to think that the 5% are all small cabin and tiny house plans.
For some reason We are having issues looking at your web site using internet explorer? Do you have any thoughts? Looks top quality in firefox btw. Awesome web-site anyhow.
I wish more people would write blogs like this that are really fun to read. With all the fluff floating around on the net, it is rare to read a blog like this instead.
I’m not that much of a online reader to be honest but your blogs really nice, keep it up! I’ll go ahead and bookmark your website to come back in the future. All the best
