My capitalistic, Conservative Republican, Fox News watching nerves are twitching.

Our Gross Domestic Product bottom line is important to everyone living within our borders. Education, Military, streets, bridges and law enforcement all benefit from dollars kept within our borders. Sure everything we buy on a bike is part of a Planet Wide Contribution. Parts of every dollar travels across borders. And yes, the oriental factory worker, and the rubber tree harvesters in S. America has every need to feed his family as my neighbor does his.

I try to think globally and acting locally, I don't sweat that Shimano makes the bearings for the bike and my fishing reels, its all good. But when you keep as many dollars in the US as possible you keep the value of the dollar up, (my IRA begs for your help) employ your neighbors and put more bucks into local schools, streets, defense and of course keep our politicians fed and funded.
