Re: 2008 U.S. Government Stimulus payments
Buy Idaho encourages all Idahoans to Buy Idaho with their rebate checks from the U.S. Government Stimulus pay outs to arrive soon.
"The purpose is to stimulate the American economy", said Dale Peterson, Executive Director, "not the economy of foreign countries selling goods and services in the U.S." Peterson continued, "When you Buy American, and Buy Idaho you will usually have a better product, often at a lesser cost, with a warranty/guarantee backed by someone you can contact. Buying Idaho, and Buying American helps your fellow Idaho and American citizens to thrive in business."
The stimulus package was passed by Congress to stimulate the American economy, but if those dollars are spent on foreign goods, we stimulate foreign economies, with American dollars, further depressing our own.

Buy Idaho is a non-profit, non tax supported association of Idaho Business and Industry promoting the sale of Idaho products and services.
Governor C. L. "Butch" Otter, co-founder of Buy Idaho in 1986 said "The Buy Idaho message is simple but profound; doing business with the family helps us all. Keeping dollars here at home contributes to our economic growth. It helps pay for the schools, services and infrastructure we all need to compete in the global marketplace. It just makes good sense to Buy Idaho. Please join me in supporting our great businesses and people by remembering to Buy Idaho!"
