Obama is putting “buy American” restrictions on all companies with US contracts.

Dang I hate to say this but I think that's the right thing to do! Certainly it is a moral and economic imperative for our populace to follow. Yes I understand the damages that might be wrought because of such action. I teach economics. But still....

No, the buy American restriction will only ensure more government waste and inflated prices, trigger a trade war, and cause US companies to lose global contracts.

You can’t pull back to an earlier time, when the US was the top producer. Manufacturing uses too much energy and burns too much carbon. The greenies won’t even let you return to those times. The Greenies want us to all work at jobs like McDonalds and be happy with those jobs because the government will take care of all our needs and we can live in little apartments in the city and walk to work.
