SSG Michael Hartsfield -Awaiting the obama "reveal"
Too much talk, no substance, 8 failed years and monumental FUBARS, lines in the sand, the "video" that never was, the list goes on and all they come up with are innuendos and bull crap. That is all she wrote! Good song.

But the facts Need to Pointed out, that all of the Piping and Materials were already Purchased and stockpiled before it was forced to stop...and shut down...

SSG Michael Hartsfield - But he did promise I could keep my doctor. Let's stop tugging at loose threads. Politicians on both sides utter nonsense that they cannot deliver and that is not within their Constitutional powers. What is the Constitutional basis for a President mandating that a private company, using private funds, to build a privately owned pipeline must "buy American". It is obviously BS spewn for political purposes. Just like the attack on the consulate in Benghazi was a reaction to an internet video. I wouldn't even comment, but you delight in pointing out the BS on the right and are cricket chirping silent when the Democrats spew their BS.

Maj John Bell - As you are strangely quiet when conservatives spew theirs. If you aren't going to follow your own standard, don't be mad when other don't

SSG Michael Hartsfield - When I choose to comment on a post, if there is BS I thin I'm fair at pointing it out. I'll make sure I ping you hen I do. But I believe I remember two times you claimed to be balanced in the links you post. I've not seen it. I also don't post near the volume of links you do.

The article is correct, they are using a special alloy of steel that is not widely produced in the United States which makes the pipeline less prone to corrosion or leaks. The Canadian company under contract (Trans-Canada) has a fairly good industry reputation for pipeline construction and it would have been foolish to throw in a unproven steel grade just for the U.S. label.

So buying American should be followed only when it applies to certain things not all things, as Trump inferred?

SSG Michael Hartsfield - Read up on how special alloys of steel are produced for niche markets and you'll understand the answer I gave better. There is not just one grade of steel produced anymore. Some grades are still produced in the United States and others are not. Trans-Canada's Pipeline steel has special alloys in it. Also might add that nobody says that the raw steel ingots that Trans Canada uses to mix it's special steel do not come from U.S. plants.

SPC Erich Guenther - Grades of steel and special alloys are not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about Trump's "America First" rhetoric and his "promise" to bring jobs to America and use American made products. This isn't an allotment he made during his campaign nor in his EOs. This is a lie and a lie that far too many people bought into

SSG Michael Hartsfield - Actually, it is the exact same mistake that Obama made with "shovel ready" projects or in regards to having a high speed rail system before the end of his term............before he even checked with Amtrak to see if it was possible. Were those lies as well?
