    The economic battle-crry of "Buy American" should instead be "Buy the Best", thereby compelling Americans to make the best.

        @neiltyson The best is unfortunately not often the cheapest, which is the tension, right?

        @neiltyson I keep my money in the places I care about most. I don't cheer for the nation's #1 team to incentivize my local team to improve.

        @neiltyson Sounds great, but: some U.S. products *are* the best-- but folks buy lower-quality foreign products because they're much cheaper.

        @neiltyson It’s not an “economic” battle cry. Your statement is actually what economists always say.

        .@neiltyson I wish the cry was "buy ethically produced" therein compelling companies to pay fair wages and source sustainable materials.

        .@neiltyson Nice idea, but Americans too often buy cheap. Europeans are more likely to spend more to buy local, quality & in their interest.
