amazing how many will miss the point, attack the messenger and blow completely past the issue.

For those needing an assist in the point of the thread:

buying American does in fact behold the OPPORTUNITY to increase jobs here at home. Yes in SOME cases one might have to pay more...INITIALLY...the secondary point of the thread is that it does not take a major jump shift in the numbers....5% CAN yield up to 225,000 jobs.

I for one would be first in line for the builder who is willing to give me the option of an all American content home yes at a premium over the cheapest bidder.
Remember the cheapest bidder only benefits the contractor not the home buyer.
We all know the contractors will sell the house with the cheapest product for what ever the market is bringing....not a reduced price because he was able to buy cheap.

Can you take off the damn partisan glasses for one instance? Do you agree with the following hypothesis (a hypothesis has no political meaning) that if all cars purchased in America were made in America there would be no unemployment? The middle class would be restored?

Try to look at from the rationale that there are actions that could be taken, that will definitely increase employment...and that we are NOT doing it. An R or D is not required to answer the question....really.

It has to do with doing those things that COULD create a better America for our grandchildren and those who follow them...not promoting the R or D that is ever present and blocking the ability to even answer a simple question.
