I didn't mean to start a big deal. Yes I do lean to the liberal side, but this is not a good example of that.
When given the choice of where to spend what money I have, I will lean to local. To me it's just common sense. There are plenty of stories and researched positive effects of how money spent in a community and/or dollars that stay here in the USA are good for our economy. These ideas are neither liberal or conservatives. Heck, the real original "Tea Party" dumped the tea into Boston Harbor to stop the drain of money from the colony's.
Sorry to disappoint SC.
PS... This will make some of my conservative friends happy. I also think the real start of alot of the problems we have can be traced to that great Republican President... Bill Clinton.
NAFTA was a disaster and crazy old Ross Perot was correct. Sadly the "Giant Sucking Sound" is now world wide.
Pineneddles may need to go for counseling .
(Just kidding Jeff)
BTW... here are some links that are even more local.

If Don considers this thread to be out of bounds, I would support closing or moving it. I really didn't mean to start a problem here.
