Obama On "Buy American"

[dpgsoldier]

25% of all U.S exports are to Canada. And Canada export 60% to the U.S.

Buy american is stupid when it is applied to North America simply because our economies are so inter-dependant. and have been for so long. You buy resources form Canada, transform it and re-sell it to Canada and vice vers-ca.

I may understand with China since they seem to devaluate theire currency.

im a republican myself! however this is a step in the correct direction on bettering OUR country and about time!! we need to think of ourselves for a while

[AnnPost1]

@gearheadrh --I agree

[h2valex]

capitalism has no boundaries. It always corrects itself, sometimes it just hurts. People's expectations are too high.

[funnyj]

@Lukachicago19 not when the economy of that nation ultimately affects your business. capitalism has its boundaries.

[LordKaisen]

@Lukachicago19 have you considered that some ceo's actually enjoy the work they do? Yea profit is great, but sometimes you can't be the best in a field unless you absolutely love what you do.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@Lukachicago19 this aint capitalism dumb fuck. capitalism is a fair playing field, not one that allows the chinese to put tarrifs on our exports when we do not do that to them.

case closed

You cannot help the actions of other nations. Unilateral free trade on America's part would bring immense prosperity, despite trade restrictions from other nations. Therefore this would show those nations that if they really want progress they must follow suit, and badabing badaboom you have no protectionism. FAIR has nothing to do with it. FREEDOM does.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@GeorgeMozosko in a fair playing field it works. Competition is a good thing. Sure if we let the chinese leech off of us like we leeched off of the brittish it will make them strong. this isn't what should be taking place. having said that, we could use a little protectionism and some tarrifs at this time. not a long time, but for a few years.

[MontyPython134]

If the U.S stop buying shitty chinese made products,WW3 would start in a heart beat.

[doooobies332]

@MontyPython134 yea fo shure. How you get so smart.... moron

Buying american=more jobs for americans

its not rocket science. What happened when we outsource jobs and products are made elsewhere??? We lose jobs.

Write your politician and tell them to end foreign aid,and use more buy American clauses in future spending legislation.

[MontyPython134]

@doooobies332

What?

Idiot I was making a sarcastic joke since the commies are making money off of us.

Of course outsouced jobs means lose of jobs in the U.S,are you sure I'm the moron or you who made a stupid accusation.

[deathtotheism]

Nobody for president!! Who's with me?!

fuck obama ron paul ron paul 2012

[JRBeaman]

If the American people would only DEMAND that when OUR government buys ANYTHING on OUR behalf, with OUR MONEY, that they MUST buy it from American companies, our unemployment and fiscal problems would be solved, and Obama wouldn't have to steal trillions from our children and grandchildren to give it to his big business and union buddies.

if america was a person it would be a guy in the corner curled up in ball sucking him self off.

[FirelionGuate]

if you suspected I called him or any of his policies of Socialist nature, it is not that way. I only said it as if it is a fact.

[misterfishermaan]

No one wants to say Obama's love for sports is interfering with his job, but he could have waited awhile to listen to the White Sox game on the ride home.
