Apparently Mr. Pethokoukis would argue that “good economics” dictates that we send ALL our jobs overseas?
you’re RIGHT. What a dumb@ss.
He also thinks there was some sort of “new” threat about the Federal contracts being lost. I guess he is unfamiliar with the “Buy American Act of 1933” that established Federal purchasing should always give preference to American made products. All Trump needs to do is dust it off and stop all the “waivers” that purchasing agents are allowed to do that have made it useless. Extend it to anyone receiving Federal funds and all those industries we have lost will have to come back to America — TV’s, computers, electronics, office equipment, construction equipment, steel, concrete — because the built-in customer base would be huge.
