Thank you for celebrating American workers. It will take time for the U.S. to recover from the current economic malaise. We need to create real American jobs. Imported goods are flooding the shelves of even small retailers like gift shops and galleries. American consumer purchases drive two-thirds of our economy so how we choose to spend our money really matters. Let’s make this the year of the American gift.
