Yeah, I didn't read that far. My bad.

But the point is, if you force anyone to use a certain supplier or group of suppliers, you're going to end up depleting local sources for other uses. The automotive industry could all of a sudden have a shortage of steel, or the industry I'm in (electrical transmission line design) will have even greater lead times on steel poles for new transmission lines, which coincidentally, are needed for another part of the bill where he wants to create a "smart grid."
