Now this sounds interesting doesn't it? This Congressman Thinks We Can Fix The Economy By Drinking Beer.

It may or may not help, but we're going to give it our all.
If you want to help the American economy, you should drink more fancy-pants beer, according to Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.).

"One of the great things about drinking craft beer is you're helping deal with our trade deficit," DeFazio told HuffPost. "American-made American product, homegrown, as opposed to all these other beers, which are foreign-owned and you're contributing to our trade deficit every time you drink one."
