  • So Chinese can have high tarrifs on our products but when USA wants to have a "buy american" clause other countries threaten to file complaints!! American's need to start standing up for themselves and refuse to be a victim of global double standards

    Buy American!! Don't buy china's inferior, dangerous products that kill are children.

    Do what good for america. BUY AMERICAN.

  • These news broadcasters sound like they want to get rid of the insurance and pensions for police firemen military postoffice workers ect... after they put 30 years of work in shame on them. I bet there would be line a mile long to take there jobs at 10% of there pay. Saving all of us money on the products we buy that advertisers pay this media outlet.

  • China is very protectionist. They maniplate the Yaun. They refuse to pass min wage laws so chinese workers can CONSUME. They heavily subsidize their companies. They refuse to give worker rights.

    They need to cut the trade deficit crap &CONSUME ALSO! China needs to HELP repair the world to, not just go back 2exporting again.

    Come to think of it, Japan too needs 2get into a consume state of mind, not just export. China has taken your place as an exporter because of your own protectionism

  • this anchor should shut the fuck out, he didn't go to business school, he wouldn't know the consequences of protectionist!

  • goddamnit.

  • Sad to see him buckle under the pressure like that. We have to buy AMERICAN. SUPPORT FORD AND CHEVY BABY!

  • Caving in to special interest groups and foreign governments proves this president is NOT about change. Just another crook in office. If Obama backs off on "Buy America" he's basically giving every American worker the middle finger.
