I think you need to lay down on your bed with a handle and let the decent people of the world clean your mess up from here. Thanks for nothing.

Did you think I forgot the kind of person you are?

Don't act like our government hasn't been overpaying for shite for decades.

If NASA is going to pay 700 bucks for a hammer we might as well buy American.

Yep. Even most American made vehicles are full of foreign components.

Its not a bad policy but in practice cant be done.

I like the thought and effort but what about exemptions when our government agencies run business out of the country in the name of saving the environment. The EPA just ran the only polychloroprene (Neoprene) manufacturer in the North American and South American hemisphere located in Laplace, Louisiana. We had a 100% made in the USA with all raw materials sourced within the US. Now we have to source the rubber outside the US and now we losing business because our product doesn't meet the Build American Buy American Act. Our Government caused this and there should be exemptions under these circumstances. Now the reason this plant was run out of the US is because the environmental issues were racist and only targeted a certain segment of the population. Thanks Biden and the Biden EPA for running the only Neoprene manufacturer out of the whole Northern and Southern American hemisphere.

There will be. Its impossible to set a date and implement it 100%. It will be gradual with a lot of exceptions at first.

Do you consider TVA as owned by the US Government? Explain how a whole barge load of boiler tubes made in France and bent into shape in Chattanooga meets what you claim.

Without first hand knowledge I would guess they got a waiver to use import material because Plymouth or whoever they buy domestic from had roll cycles pushed out too far to meet the deadlines TVA was working on. The President talking about doing away with waivers in favor of strictly requiring domestic material is what I was referring to originally where jobs are just going to be halted waiting for mill production cycles to catch up.

How is anything more advanced than that going to made?



If you had read the tweet, you would see where it says "when available." He doesn't mean they will just stop using goods that aren't made here. You anti-Trump guys are skilled at finding the dumbest ways to interpret his words.

I was driving home from Miami last Friday and a Hyundai pulled out right in front of me, like he had no awareness there may be other traffic on the planet. had to slam on my brakes and swerve to miss his dumb arse.

The Hyundai had a US GOVERNMENT plate on it.
