We buy gifts for our families, our children, our friends, our coworkers—and too often, our dollars drift overseas into the pockets of corporations who don’t know our values, don’t support our workers, and don’t strengthen our communities. So here’s a thought: What if ANY purchase—yes, any gift—made in America or purchased from an American worker, craftsman, or small busin

By Robert W. Sutton — Politically Conservative Financial Educator Just a thought… What if this holiday season, every dollar you spent on gifts made in America  — or that put money directly into the pockets of American workers  — was 100% tax deductible  until the end of the year? Imagine the impact. We throw billions into holiday spending every year. But too often, our dollars go straight overseas… boosting foreign factories, foreign labor, and foreign governments. Meanwhile,

It’s called the “nuclear option” because it’s a dramatic, controversial move that can permanently change how the Senate operates, breaking long-standing traditions of minority rights and bipartisan cooperation.
