Now this really ticks me off.

In the United States of America, the American government can't implement an American stimulus plan for the American economy... without the rest of the world "warning" us not to include "buy American" provisions in our own freaking plan!?!?!?

The pansy EU warns us that they will retaliate if we implement a buy American provision. This is just ridiculous. What are they going to do ... start a trade war with the USA? Let them! A movement toward increased self-reliance would help us.

I'm really sorry that the rest of the world is so reliant upon American tax dollars.

And now Obama cowers to the foreigners!

I understand free trade. And I understand too much free trade. We have clearly reached the point of too much free trade when our own internal expenditures are dictated by foreign organizations.

This really gets me fired up. Letting anyone else goad us into retreat from buying American is inexcusable.

I'm with you, and I'm willing the take the risk's they threaten us with, being just as isolationistic, refuse to buy our Treasuries/bonds, invest in our weak industries.

With that in mind WE are gonna suffer some REALLY hard times to get through it all.

IF WE HOLD THE LINE ON THAT PROVISION:gun:

Yes we should buy American and this should be in the bill. But the problems is all this NAFTA $hit that needs to be corrected.

More than just NAFTA, the ChiComs (that's the Red Chinese) have us by the "you know what'" A trade war would be a quagmire (to quote a favorite Lib term).
