Now, what do you drive? Where do you shop? I stopped at Hobby Lobby the other day and walked out! EVERYTHING WAS CHINESE! We are in the really big hole with trade with that country that drives tanks over their people! OK, the president should have American made product! Now, what do you drive? Where do you shop?

Here is the truth of it" This was an outright political payoff to the Italian Premier Berlesconi for supporting Bush on Iraq. He sweated the promise of the contract out of Bush and The White House ordered the Navy to select the chopper within 30 days and exerted heavy pressure on the Navy to pick the European model. Meanwhile Sikorsky, America's great helicopter builder, was not given a fair shake. Those jobs go to Europe. The socalled "partnership" with an American firm is a sham. The vast majority of jobs associated with the chopper will be in Italy. I could cut off my right hand for ever voting for Bush. jg asksed: “Why can’t the Commander in Chief get his helos made in the USA?” Here is the truth of it“

Our country should have viable ways to encourage trade with friendly nations. Augusta has produced safe and efficient helos for decades as well as the USA, but sometimes the mission profile requires a different approach, why built it, if it is already out there? Besides, if I recall Bell has Augusta built components and helicopters under US license in Italy! Is all about commercial trade.
