Reading through the headlines...
Buy American law offers second chance for some textile companies:

One proposal that would give the workers more security is to expand the Berry Amendment's provisions for buying U.S. textiles and specialty products to the Department of Homeland Security, whose thousands of Border Patrol and Customs agents need uniforms, tents and other textile products.

But critics worry that what is good for some American workers isn't in the best interest of American taxpayers, since tents and uniforms made overseas are often cheaper.

What bothers me is that some people don't realize that American workers are American taxpayers. If an American worker no longer has a job, how in the hell will they be able to pay taxes?!?!
