Discussion Question

In today's world economy, the United States is no longer considered the manufacturing giant it once was and the "Buy American Preference" program has become outdated and no longer required.

In this discussion, argue for or against the Buy American program. Is the program outdated? Do you agree with the program or should congress completely repeal the requirement? Read what your classmates have to offer and comment on one, preferable one that took the opposite side that you did.

The format you use in the discussion forum is your choice; however, you are expected to write coherently, in full sentences, and pay close attention to spelling and grammar, while fully addressing the given assignment. Conventions of “online etiquette,” which include courtesy to all users, must be observed.
