Durbin Supports 'Buy American'

Chicago Public Radio reports:

U.S. Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois says he wants American made steel to be used in infrastructure projects funded by an economic stimulus bill.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce opposes the Buy American provision that was included in the stimulus bill introduced in the U.S. House. The chamber worries other countries could retaliate with tougher trade rules. Dick Durbin acknowledges that could happen but he says America’s steel industry needs a boost.

Dick Durbin doesn't seem to care the history of Smoot-Hawley.
