Buy American! Jobs for Americans!
Does America make anything anymore, besides financial bubbles, hot air and hype?
To rebuild on THAT SITE, it should be a NO BRAINER that SUPPLIERS and LABOR be USA companies ONLY!
i.e. bogged down for 8 years by idiot lawyers, politicians, and unions.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
The Empire State Building was constructed in 410 days, start to finish. What will it take to get America moving again?
It's taken years to get going, having been hung up in politics and bureaucracy, and now it's dependent on glass from communist china. Yep, I'd say that about sums up "American enterprise" in the age of Obama. At least he didn't nationalize the glass factories.
When did FR become a bastion of protectionism?
Get the best quality materials for the best price. If you think you can avoid materials from overseas, you aren’t living in the 21st Century.
The world is a big integrated market today. Protectionism is just jingoism extended to economics.
NY State and NY City are the most over-regulated, expensive and business un-friendly places in the USA. The State has been run by progressively left-wing Democrats for the last 50 years, and we have paid for it. A declining and rapidly aging population, a loss of most of the manufacturing base, a state-budget totally reliant on Wall Street deficits as far as the eye can see.
It’s a miracle that after 8 years, anything at all is getting built on Ground Zero.
Go ahead and add another regulation, this time about glass for buildings - and watch even more jobs and people dissappear from what is the new Eastern Bloc.
Anyone who loves this country will buy Chinese, or from any other non-union supplier, then give any union any discretionary funds.
What a stupid thing to do.
It’s not the jobs, it’s the experience we are losing.
That knowledge gained from years on the job will be lost.
Even if new jobs were somehow created, the people who
fill them will be inexperienced.
We are allowing our industry to be destroyed in a stealth
trade war. When real war comes, as it most certainly will,
we will be without the means of production needed to
secure our own defense.

Where’s the pun squad?
I have never bought an American car. No desire to, either. That doesn’t make me less patriotic or less American.
Snopes has something to say about Chinese-made pyrex glassware and it’s not good. Just FYI.

At least it will be “assembled in America of foreign-made components”, eh lol
JUST BUILD THE DARN THING.
Two churches are to be built on the world trade center site. If not, we shall see.
