Meh, it isn't the best idea but I understand where it comes from. Support your own and get people working here at home, I get why people are all wrapped up in such an idea.
I have a lot of friends who deal with international markets on a regular basis, especially the timber industry, and I don't know a single one that supports the whole buy American stuff unless its the best financial option, they all seem pretty happy dealing with foreign markets if the price is right.
The buy American stuff really comes across more as PR brownie points then an actually philosophy or practice. A great slogan to throw around during elections but something that will probably see little actual practice in the real world. I don't know I don't have much of a mind for the economy and markets so maybe I missed the point by a mile though, just an observation on the topic at hand I suppose.
