Buy American?

If you care about the Buy American push than you should support government spending because no other entity purchases more American goods and services than the US government. Additionally no other entity employs more Americans than the US government. In these tough economic doesn't it make sense to use trickle down economics and remove the Bush tax cuts for the rich to employ Americans and buy more American goods.

While companies like Nike and Haliburton avoid taxes and outsource work the US government is required to buy American in The Buy American Act. Fighting for tax cuts for the rich only costs Americans jobs and keeps the economy stagnate putting your own job at risk.
