If you paid attention during the Billy-open-zipper times, you'll remember the claims of a balanced federal budget. The only reason I mention this is that the other day I heard that his administration required military supplies being bid by off-shore companies. In that way things could be purchased for less money. Slashing the hell out of the military budget helped save money a bit also. Made him look good to the uninformed and wrong thinking.
A bunch of our military supplies were and probably still are being imported or controlled by foreign firms. The result is that our military is at least a little dependent on manufacturing outside our borders. The result is if we should get into a really big messy war, we're in deep shit because we're not self-sufficient for military supplies.
I suppose Billy-open-zipper didn't care then or now. He and those like him would rather see us surrender our country to the U.N. He wants a single, all powerful, world government and to hell with any single nation.
Isn't there a prediction like that in The Bible?

That's the reason the Berry Amendment was drafted. Any purchase over $100,000 has to be procured from an American firm, making the product in America. That seems like a lot of money, but it really isn't, when you factor in how many general issued parts that is, and how much big equipment costs. Blackhawk Products Group, who's commercially available gear is made in Viet Nam, bought a factory in the US to be able to bid on Berry Amendment-affected contracts.
