This is a difficult question to poll because in a great sense actions speak louder than words, but what information I can find suggests similar preferences among consumers themselves: https://review.chicagobooth.edu/marketing/2020/article/made-usa-label-boosts-prices-just-little https://review.chicagobooth.edu/marketing/2020/article/made-...

- detaro 5y agoI just found it funny that your provided link starts with a sentence containing "has not made Americans more willing to pay extra for U.S.-made goods."
- jolux 5y agoWell, I think the government buying American is probably a precursor for anyone else doing so, because they're not at the constraints of the market to find the cheapest viable product.
- thatcat 5y agoI thought the government had to accept the lowest bid that met specs, though one of those specs could be mfg in USA.
- munk-a 5y agoTariffs and subsidies are tools we can use if we want to make sure that domestic products can compete with those from abroad - but the current wide allowances for lobbying in the US make any sort of move in that direction extremely difficult.
