What was that about ‘Made in America’?

OPINION:

“Biden to agencies: Make sure infrastructure materials funded by law are ’Made in America’” (Web, April 18) is right on target, quoting the White House’s chief occupant, President Biden, as saying “From Day One, every action I’ve taken to rebuild our economy has been guided by one principle: Made in America. It means using products, parts and materials built right here in the United States of America.”

This quote is central to why Mr. Biden’s believability index (his poll numbers) is at 33%.

On day one of his administration, Mr. Biden basically shut down the U.S. oil industry. Just about every product that’s “made in the USA” either has oil products in it or requires oil to make it.

I guess it’s OK for those to now be made in Russia, Iran or Venezuela. Come on, man, Mr. Biden likes to say.
