Buy American, IF, it is the best value !
I buy plants from Florida or
Mexico---- depending which is the best value.
If you think that garden plants and
houseplants are expensive, you should consider their cost if we did not have Free
Trade around the World. International
sharing of new plants and production has improved the quality and lowered the
cost of Horticultural Products.
Every Economist knows that “Free”
World Trade is obvious. Most every
politician yells for tariffs (taxes) on imports, thinking that is what
Americans want. Clearly, that is wrong
since isolationism has never worked and is simply stupid. There is no tariff on plants shipped from
Florida to Pennsylvania. Why should it
be any different shipping from Mexico?
Free market Capitalism will bring
you high quality, reasonably priced plants.
Continue to Buy American, but only
if it’s the best value !
