About this listen
Did you know that 97% of clothing and 80% of pharmaceuticals sold in the US are not made here? In this episode of Made in America, host Rita sits down with Don Buckner, Founder and CEO of MadeInUSA.com, to discuss the critical state of American manufacturing.
Don argues that our sovereignty is at risk—if trade were cut off today, we’d be "naked, sick, and Neanderthals" without our technology. But there is a solution. Learn how MadeInUSA.com is building the "Amazon of US-made products" to help consumers easily vote with their dollars and support family-owned businesses.
We also dive deep into the economics, discussing the "multiplier effect" of keeping dollars local and the controversial reality of government procurement officers buying foreign goods with American tax dollars.
