Thread: Should 'Buy American' be part of the stimulus bill?

Q. Senators are voting on a "Buy American" clause in the $900B stimulus package that, with a few exceptions, would allow only U.S.-made materials and goods to be used in projects funded by the bill.

Do you think a "Buy American" clause should be included in the stimulus bill?

Yes. With few exceptions, all steel, iron, or manufactured goods used in a stimulus-funded project should be made in the U.S.A. 82%

No. There should be no import restrictions placed on such projects. 15%

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce should be investigated under RICO... this is a "racket" to gain kick-backs from foreign companies on top of hiring cheaper labor for company "bigger revenue"... this is nothing more than a "racket" as was Madof's scheme a "ponzi"... I would urge all of you to demand the U.S. Attorney General and DOJ to investigate every member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce immediately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
