Thread: 'BUY AMERICAN' stimulus plan riles trade partners

Since when does the United States owe these countries anything? They have bleed the wealth of this country to the bone that has helped bring us to our current status. We are talking about the survival of the United States now, the other countries need to solve their own problems without the help of the U.S.

A little off topic , but, I saw a great bumper sticker today. It said "Hungray ??? Eat your Import!! That could come to pass!

CEMEX is the Mexican owned company who refused to do any work on the fence on the southern border Evedently they don't need any work in America and shouldn't get any American jobs.
