The link above is to a press release last year about the Census Bureau's meeting of a July 1, 2009 deadline to hire 2200 people with ARRA funds. The Census Bureau received a billion dollars from ARRA.
My question is this: Does "Buy American" ring any bells? I personally saw some Census 2010 merchandise, given away as freebies by Census workers, that appears to be problematic. The baseball cap was made in China, and the T-shirt was made in Thailand. I realize that "Buy American" has huge exceptions, but shouldn't the federal government make an extra effort to comply with ARRA's buy American provisions?
