Buy America: Key to America’s Economic Recovery
The U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate have both included provisions in economic recovery
legislation that would require the use of U.S. goods in public projects financed by the plans.1 Opponents of
such “Buy American” provisions have laid numerous charges against the requirements, including that such
preferences will lead to a trade war with other countries. Critics have even compared these Buy American
provisions to trade measures such as the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, asserting that domestic procurement
preferences could prolong or worsen the current economic recession.
These serious and alarming allegations are without any legal or factual basis. This report examines and exposes
the anti-Buy-American myths put forward in three recent analyses published by Gary Clyde Hufbauer and
Jeffrey J. Schott of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, the Third Way Economic Program, and
the Progressive Policy Institute.2

"It is widely agreed by economist such as Martin Wolf on the right to Paul Keugman on the left that we are not
simply facing a financial crisis that can be patched up by a new regulatory system. Indeed, we are facing a crisis that
has its' roots in the distribution of production within the global economy where you have built up enromous overcapacity
in trade surplus countries such as China, Japan and Germany which has been enabled, for several decades, by debt driven
consumption in the United States."
-- Michael Lind, New America Foundation
