Candidate Joe Biden promised to rebuild U.S. infrastructure with American-built products. Will a ‘Buy American’ push by the next president build bridges to the G.O.P., and pave the way for a more domestic purchasing policy?

The first sentence out of the “Illegitimate & FRAUDULENT soon to biden “Boss of the Crime Family 46th President is a CALL for UNITY and then the “BUT” or AND comes then labels the 74,000,000 (MILLION) who supported President Trump as AWFUL/EVIL individuals. This the Democratic Socialist (OXYMORON) and their Party of INSANITY, TOTALITARIANISM, FRAUD and ANTI-AMERICANISM.
They believe ONLY in one thing and that is THE myopic, delusional, corrupt and very destructive IDEOLOGY coupled with the “FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION of AMERICA.”
The Party of INSANITY, TOTALITARIANISM, FRAUD and ANTI-AMERICANISM.has imported the French Revolution to replace in total the vision of the American Revolution.
“Buy American.” But Ol’ Sniffer leaves out the last – and most important – word. “Politicians.” He, and his Democrat buddies are up for sale.
Scott, I think your comments on the Buy American segment were right on. Thank you

I do not trust anything coming from the mouths of Dem’s or RINO’s who worked in concert to bring about this “Sleepy Cackle” presidency.
This regime will sell out to the highest bidder all our technology, land, and workers.
Trickle down federal corruption seems more equitable than local hands on corruption.
Biden: “Buy American”
If the data on Hunter’s hard drive is true, !President-elect Biden is living proof Americans can be bought.
So who thinks Brown Shirt Joe is using lip service to an unlikely to be implemented or effective “Buy American” policy just to distract and obfuscate the fact that China owns him and he will do nothing that causes his buddies in Beijing the least bit of financial pain?
How about if we just ban any and all imports from China that can prove to be stolen technology or contain stolen intellectual property? Then try to get all of our allies and trading partners onboard with such a policy through trade and treaty agreements?
This would take away the incentive for China to steal because they only places left to market their thefts would be third world nation …Which are not huge markets for anything but food.
Speaking of food, Food-As-A-Strategic-Weapon is one of the things Ronald Reagan used to take down the Soviet Union. China needs a LOT of food, we should look into that too.
“Buy American” and “procure less stuff” both sound great in theory. I’m all for supporting deserving US businesses, if we can avoid making stupid and costly decisions in the process (keeping in mind of course the high economic, moral, and natsec costs of “cheap” Chinese goods). I’m sure Bill remembers the fleet of rinkydink Pontiac 1000s that L.A. parking enforcement bought in the early 80s. If those were anywhere near as awful as the ’83 Pontiac 6000 my Dad bought out of idealistic loyalty to U.S. car manufacturers (constant overheat problems and a cracked engine block by around 10,000 miles made it the last American car Dad bought) I’m sure they cost the city a ton to maintain. At this point, even “buy American when reasonably possible, else support our good trade partners in preference to China” would be an improvement. South Korea makes good stuff and is a much better ally. Japan, who we feared would take over the world back in the 80s (remember when that was the big economic danger?) is looking like a pretty good friend now. Of course, I believe this is all just empty self-serving Biden talk, more empty promises from a career politician, but for the sake of argument it’s an interesting conversation to have.

Full endorsement here! I’m grateful to have been able to buy a Model 3 a year ago; it’s my kick-in-the-pants funmobile and American-built muscle car. Far and away the most fun I’ve had driving anything, and also so far the best car I’ve yet owned in design, construction, and maintenance costs.
I just wish Elon hadn’t tried to re-invent EVERY aspect of auto construction. The fasteners for door panels and things like that are proprietary, and make the simplest of “DIY” maintenance difficult or impossible. I subscribe to a <video service> channel of a Tesla owning engineer who chronicles the difficulties he runs into trying to work on his car.
Interesting; I haven’t run into those problems yet. I wonder how much of that has been the result of intentional redesign with awareness of the standard practices, and how much is reinventing the wheel due to lack of such awareness. The did bootstrap themselves from hand-building cars to building a heavily automated assembly line to mass-produce loads of Model 3s in a big hurry. In my research I did find an interesting Model 3 teardown with commentary by an auto industry long-timer, puzzling over how they’d built the frame and some seemingly sloppy or just strange welding work here and there, etc. (This was for the first year production Model 3s if I recall correctly.) Interesting, but in the end I found enough net positive to have as much confidence taking the leap as I would with any other car (each with their own flaws). So far I’ve been pretty delighted.
Nothing “American” about the president-elect Joe Biden! He is a Chinese Communist owned politician, as are most democratic politicians. They would rather burn the house down than give someone else credit for improving it!
The “buy American” message from Biden – like anything that comes from the mouths of Democrats – must be taken as a suspect sentiment. I know what I would like about such a pledge from the government, but what do Democrats hope to gain from buying American goods?
I think their motivation is twofold: 1) increasing the dependence of industry on government money, which Democrats hope will result in US businesses becoming dependent on the government and 2) raising corporate taxes so that the government squeezes more money from these businesses.
I imagine the companies that responded to President Trump’s call to bring their operations back to America might be looking at Biden’s pledge to significantly increase corporate taxes as a sort of “bait and switch”, and I would not blame any company that decides to move their operations to another country as a result. On one hand, my last sentence sounds anti-American, but it is, I believe, a very American action… a very free choice.
What a nice sentiment on Joe’s part. All these years in government spending money we do not have and decreasing the dollar’s value. Now, he wants to appear to be on the side of American business after years of regulatory restrictions by he and Obama that made it harder for them to stay in business. I’m not buying his malarkey!
Correctly so! Everything that spews from Creepy Joe’s pie hole is either a lie or obfuscation to further his personal and political power. This has been the way of Joe as long as he’s been in politics.
And then, there’s this. (I WILL NOT link directly to Twatter, those traitorous scum)
The “Buy American” debacle will be a huge virtue signal and “F you” to whites and the people who really built America.
Yup. The Democrat Party has ALWAYS been a racist organization! This is no surprise.
As an aside, I really like that blogger’s one comment rule:
It’s too bad so few abide by such rules anymore.
Until they pass legislation that requires any product to be 100% audited to have come from ‘free’ nations, it is all just theater.
Biden is a nationalist?
Only in the way that Germany and Italy of the 1930’s and 1940’s was nationalist.
Do you really think you’re going to love ANYTHING you see in the “new” seditious anti-American administration, Scott? Quality, price, speed, political impact, TRUTH? Please be careful telling us what you would love to see when we all know true Love of country has nothing to do with any of them. Thanks.
