USA demands we buy certain products "too meet it's safety code" - they all used to be Made in USA infact some unions specifically dis-allowed workers to use any non-USA products on any site whatsoever. But many of products have been outsourced to China - made only in China.
Furthermore, some NEW safety requirements seem ridiculously added and are made only in China: it's not a far cry to assume regulators are making deals with China and taking kick-backs.
Should Government ever use non-USA products in taxpayer funded builds?
But Question is: should USA government be "allowed" to demand you buy imports to meet their "regulations" ?
Example 1:
to get a building permit you have to use a Chinese wall plug in a restroom of a new residential home (only china makes the kind they specify - usa makes every other kind if you shop (leviton at homedepot but not lowes) )
Example 2: fuses (the glass-wire kind)
usa might make fuses but they are impossible to find. should USA GOVERNMENT be able to "demand" fuses be use if USA no longer makes fuses ?
china avoids use of any USA imports and many of their products aren't allowed in usa (though they get here) because they are unsafe
------------------------
shouldn't USA Government have to shut up if they allow the complete shutdown of all companies in USA that make some particular safety product that is no longer made ?
