"Anders Lewendal, a general contractor who managed to survive the housing collapse, has hit upon a plan that he thinks will revive the construction industry and help lead the nation out of the economic wilderness: build houses using only American-made materials."

1. If more people would activity try to by US made products

it would make a big difference.

3. That's what a tariff does

People get quite active trying to avoid import duties.

4. Sure, but buying American will help increase jobs, and that

should be an incentive by itself.

2. But primarily with products from Georgia Pacific.

AKA, the Koch bros. Maybe not, made in America isn't enough. Or maybe they don't make their construction material products in America.

5. There is hardly any American lumber in the Northeast

Local logs go to Quebeck to be sawn - local mills could not compete on cost.

6. Buy Made In The USA, repair the old one, or make one yourself

These big corporations think we will all continue to buy their foreign made crap products that are such low quality and do not last. They need to learn the lesson that we want good quality products made in America by Union workers.
