		<description><![CDATA[Though we’ve long been frustrated by the fact that the federal government spends taxpayer dollars on foreign-made goods, we found one recent example of this practice particularly infuriating. During last year’s 10th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) purchased 70,000 commemorative bracelets for their workers. Unfortunately, these bracelets, which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There’s an antidote for the stupidity California exhibited when it sent its Bay Bridge work to China. It is legislation called the Invest in American Jobs Act. It would strengthen existing requirements for buying American products when federal tax dollars pay for construction. To create 200,000 American jobs, ABC Anchor Diane Sawyer has challenged Americans to spend just $64 of their $700 in holiday purchases on American-made gifts. Imagine the American jobs that would be created if “Made in America” were stamped on every single part of all $59 billion in infrastructure projects the federal government funds each year.]]></description>
