Sorry, but your whole post sort of reeks of juvenile tantrum
Sorry, I just consider it a slap at our sovereignity and the ability to put people to work when our government has finally decided that it should only buy US made product.

Nowhere does it say (that I can see), nor should it, that PRIVATE companies can't buy whatever product from wherever they want or need.

I don't believe it is juvenile to believe or demand that our country use taxpayer money to buy only US made materials and use only US workers. You keep a tax base and people working that way.

How I may have said it, in the previous post, may have been juvenile. That is why I am not a politician but an addictions counselor. I speak with passion and honestly, may not always be the most mature or well educated way, but I leave no doubts as to where I stand on something I am passionate about.

I think you might find the real world is somewhat more intricately linked than you would like it.
I would love for the world to work together but, it should not come one sided nor at the cost of many losing jobs. That instills hostility and resistance to achieving a peaceful world where ALL can be free and productive.

So basically he's not going to do anything and let tax payer money continue buying imported goods and put US citizens out of work? Grow some balls, Mr. President.

Oh, and to the guy throwing the tantrum: the US is still the biggest player in the WTO, it is still significantly more protectionist than most 3rd world countries, and the rest of the world has been a net lender of huge proportions to the US.
The guy throwing the tantrum has a name, it's PAN6467.

Really, how are we more protectionist? I'd really like to hear this. Considering China and Japan can subsidize their steel industry and cry if we even talk about raising tariffs on their product, yet they will tax ours out of competition. And it's not just steel.

We bow to the WTO and without any fight freely abide by their rules. And if we don't and they complain we acquiesce to their demands even if it is detrimental to our nation. Yet, China and others out there can use slave labor, child labor, sweatshops and pay non liveable wages and the WTO says and does nothing, except maybe want us and OUR US tax money to police that country? Yeah..... about that. here's a news flash for you: WE CAN'T FUCKING AFFORD IT ANYMORE AND THE PLAYING FIELD THE WTO IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP LEVEL HAS BEEN A JOKE AND HEAVILY DETRIMENTAL TO THE US AND HER PEOPLE AND YOU FUCKS DON'T CARE YOU WANT MORE AND MORE FROM US.

(So sorry, that's a juvenile rant but so true.)

So please enlighten me how we are more protectionist than anyone else out there, I'd really like to know.
