Our loyal readers in the Big Apple should be careful. If the bullies, thieves, crooks, and killers don’t stab, cut, shoot, throw acid in your face, hijack your car, steal your pizza delivery, they will steal your Citi Bike.
The Beltway Editor: That’s what the insiders call DC. How does a bill become the law, LL ?
By The Book Cat: Here is the official version.
The cartoon is all Bull Guano. The lobbyist and business interest put the bill together. The HOR or Senator never read the bill. The only true thing Pigleosi has ever said was ” let’s pass the law to see what’s in it. ” The morons couldn’t tell you anything about the new law except what the lobbyist tell them. Here is how it works in real life.
Here is why we are getting screwed. No one has read the 2,700 page bill. No one can understand it. Any Republican who votes for it should have a good opponent in their next election. We also didn’t vote for this Senator’s staff to read the bill.
This sentence in the bill gives China the rights to products and employees used.
Directly beneath the Buy American rule, though, is a massive carveout that allows the heads of federal agencies to bypass the requirement. If they consider the requirement “inconsistent with the public interest,” does not meet “satisfactory quality,” or if they believe buying American will increase costs for the projects.
There you go–it is permission for China to do all infrastructure work and supply the material.
