The Week in Review
Posted by scapozzola on 04/27/2012
There has been intense lobbying of the San Francisco's Bay Area BART Transit system ahead of their purchase of 775 new cars.
Despite concerted urging that they buy the most American-made option, it looks like BART may select a firm supplying cars with only 60% American-made content.
Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM) Executive Director Scott Paul appeared on KSFO-Radio San Francisco to urge that BART keep it "Made in America."
Continuing efforts to call attention to a flood of heavily subsidized auto parts imports from China.
Is it possible to build a house that is entirely American-made?
