But suppose each of us who is to receive the $500 tax refund vows to spend it only on products manufactured in the U.S. I have looked at the labels lately and acknowledge it could be a scavenger hunt. Yet this time, my husband and I have agreed to apply our refund toward ordering furniture we know will be made in Ohio. I think it would be an interesting experiment to see if there is any bump in American productivity if every one of us spends the refund...
