1) Re: 2009 Senate Bill 48 (Ban flying imported U.S. flags on state buildings ) by changeagent on June 11, 2009This is just silly. It may be hard to find a flag made in the US but we still make many high tech, high skill items that create the jobs we really need. This bill shows just how economically ignorant our legislators are. Remember, full employment is easy to achieve. Just get rid of those big excavators they use to build roads and give every man a shovel. Are those the jobs we really want?

Well there not much to say about this one except they finally are doing something right! It's a small step in reducing our trade imbalance. It's almost impossible to walk into a big box store and purchase an American flag made in the good old USA.
This should be a Federal law. No US government building anywhere should fly a flag not made in the USA.
