Freedom Versus Free & Dumb

Massive picture from Shorpy -- click to enlarge.
 
Happy Birthday America!
 
In 1924, when this lovely picture was taken, all of our flags were made in this country.
 
Today, 94 percent of all American flags are made in China.

Now we send the money overseas, we send the jobs overseas, and we pay for our purchases on the national credit card, and never expect the bill to come due. 
 
Freedom is not free and it should not be dumb
 
It's time we put jobs in this country by buying American-made goods, and it's time we stopped whining about paying our taxes. 
 
When America was great we paid taxes, invested in infrastructure, made union jobs, and bought nothing manufactured in China or overseas. 
 
We can do that again. 
 
We can be great again. 
 
We have not forgotten the recipe, and it has never been a secret.
