President Joe Biden lambasted "past administrations" that have flaunted requirements to buy American-made materials for federal infrastructure projects in his State of the Union address. He might want to look in the mirror.
"Buy American has been the law of the land since 1933. But for too long, past administrations have found ways to get around it," said the president Tuesday night. "Not anymore. Tonight, I'm also announcing new standards to require all construction materials used in federal infrastructure projects to be made in America."
