"Buying American is Dangerous" Alan Viard American Enterprise Institute..
Edited on Mon Feb-02-09 09:11 PM by lib2DaBone
Alan Viard from the AEI is on C-Span Now.. says that the "BUY AMERICAN " Meme is very dangerous to the United States Corporations. Really? What a a fucking shame....

He says that the Republicans will do everyting they can to derail the Stimulas Program, and Support Big Business and Big Corporations.

Hello..? Is anyone in America Awake? They hate UNIONS ... according to the American Enterprise Institute.

"FAIR WAGE IS DANGEROUS TO AMERICA", says Alan Viard. "Paying American Workers a Fair Wage is Dangerous". HUH? Our Republican Senators are sitting there and agreeing with this Moron.

If you havent seen this Repuke.. on CSPAN.. you can't believe it..... Will Obama let this travesty continue? I cant believe Im watching C-SPAN and not Pravda.

The Repukes are SO FAR OUT OF CONTROL... SO FAR FROM REALITY... they are a danger to society.

11. It may also create a trade war, which will destroy American jobs
People are very upset about this. You know, Id rather see NAFTA abolished and a tariff system installed. But to actual ban the purchasing of foreign goods for certain projects can lead down a treacherous road.

5. These men are SICK SON OF A BITCHES.....
Go to CSAPN... this is sick. If this does not invoke torches and pitchforks in the street, nothing will. The deck is so blatantly stacked against tax payers and honest citizens.

Billions for war? NO problem. "People at the bottom are there because of their own fault" says Douglas Holtz Eakin, AEI.

7. Well, we've always known that the American Enterprise Institute should be known as the
UnAmerican Activities and Traitorous Robber Baron Institute. It's just becoming more obvious.

8. I've been hoping that one of the blessings of an Obama administration will be
a progressive, pro-majority, patriotic HOUSE-CLEANING at C-Span TV and radio, and NPR.

Jeez, I'm so sick of those bastards.

9. What is the American Enterprise Institute?
Is it one of those oxymoronic "Republican Think Tanks"? As if Republicans think!

10. Obama will want help for Afghanistan, and the first thing he do is
a slap in the face of his best international friend.

13. If that's the case, I'll go for a year or two of living dangerously. Even if it were law that
you had to buy American for government purchases it would be a moot point because we don't make much of the "stuff" we need.
