This should be required reading for students studying economics or consumer economics in high school and/or college.

• Whay Americans Should Buy American 29 July, 2008
The book is very well written but tends to focus on why americans should buy american. It is eye opening when you read through it and is very convincing, but I am already to buy american.
It's hard to figure out what to buy that is the best for America's economy. Some products are made in America but owned by foreign companies and vice versa. That is why I bought the book. I thought it would help sort this out for me, but it mostly list companies and who owns them.
On the author's website, one of the current news items is that a congressman wants American made flags on the federal buildings. I was hoping the book or website might tell me where I could purchase such a flag.
Since the "buying American" concept can be difficult, I would have liked to have seen a ranking system or something where there was a list of companies and how "American" there products are rather than a list of companies and what country owns them.

• Great Book 20 May, 2008
I found Roger Simmermaker's book How Americans Can Buy American both informative and interesting. Little did I know how much my buying choices affect our country. The information regarding buying American in this book is invaluable. It is a must-have for all Americans.

• Great Interest 20 June, 2008
This book is well written and a must read for all who want to support American industries. I have recommended this book to family, friends, and members of Congress. Although we have been product label readers for a long time, our eyes have been further opened to purchasing wisely.

• One Of A Kind Resource 19 May, 2008
This is a very useful handbook for shoppers who care what their purchase dollars support. Obviously represents an enormous amount of research, it is organized so whatever product or service you are going to buy, you can easily look that company up in the book before you do buy (keep the book in the car, and check it each time before you exit the vehicle to buy anything!). I also like the list of useful websites at the back, and the list of union-made products, also at the back.
