We hear a lot about "Buy American" or "Make America Great Again." What does that really mean in today's World? We buy Japanese, Korean, and German cars. We love Mexican, Chinese, Italian, and Indian food. We love Swedish furniture. Spanish is rapidly becoming our second language. We value that air travel allows us to visit countries all over the World. We love and pay dearly for French and Italian wines. Credit cards have become a universal currency making foreign currency obsolete when we travel. Remember when traveling to a foreign country meant visiting an American Express office to cash in one of their checks for the foreign currency? Maybe if you live in the hills of West Virginia this world hasn't arrived but for 75,000,000 (and counting) of us in the United States it has been our new normal for some time.
