Buy American has always struck me as a stupid notion, no matter what the economy happens to be doing. If you want me to buy American, then Americans should make quality products at competitive prices. You know. . The American Capitalist philosophy. In the 80's we used to get crap for buying Toyotas because "it's a goddamn Jap car. Buy American!" Fine. When Chevy makes something that's as good as this Toyota, I'll be happy to buy it. That's competition for ya.
And it's the same today. I am more than happy to buy American when American is what I want or need. Don't try to play legal maneuvering games to funnel me down the path of buying American. Tell the damned American manufacturers to figure out why people are Buying Foreign, and then adjust their products to become more attractive.
