alexander hamilton said george washington, here's what we need to do. we need to use the purchasing power of the government, that is the tax money that's spent by the government, to buy american-made goods and services. well, now there's a good idea. we've had the buy in america policy in the united states for many, many years, all too often ignored by the various agencies that are supposed to oversee the purchasing. right now we have that ro problem with the military -- we have that problem with the military who are supposed to go green to develop alternative power sources that they can depend upon if the grid goes down. however, they're routinely ignoring the buy america requirements that the law has because they're purchasing these massive solar arrays as though they are available in home depot. i don't think so. but nonetheless it's an example of how the various arms of the u.s. government in one way or another ignores the purchasing requirement of buy america. literally using our tax money to buy american-made goods and services to employ americans

washington said it, jefferson said it in different ways and a alexander hamilton salles with a stunning clarity the american economy would take with a nearly institutions to facilitate that. sometimes it was possible to sit back and allow the defense to take the course. was the case but in the civil war and world war i. the country attractive to a million immigrants a year before world war i. the economic growth rate was approximately 8 percent per year and was already the largest economy in the world giving it wasn't like china and our time having tremendous growth rates but from a very low base. when the decade began and is still grow at an astounding rate and huge increases in productivity accompanied by the pioneering advances in almost every industry they were finding steel for example, and in that period the u.s. could be itself. they were getting it through to the point that the states could abolish slavery if they were put to the test. in the war between the states and again in dealing with the economic depression and focusing the frustration and anger in the country not on the

and came back, and then fled richmond the next day fleeing a murder wrap because he killed alexander. hamilton. in 180 # 9, thomas payne comes basically to die. he had been a hero of the revolution, obviously, as we all know, and as happens with revolutionaries, when the revolution was over, he didn't settle down and become a bureaucrat in the new government the way he was supposed to but continued to be what people punned in his day as a pain. [laughter] he died an outcast and miserably. in the 1840s, the misfit of all, edgar allen poe in the places all around, living on west 3rd street when the raven came out, and the raven was his first -- he finally had a successful poem. everybody loved the raven, all the humorous parodies which is a sure sign of success. abraham lincoln was fond of the pole cat. it didn't help. he was still a miserable character, poe, and died not long after, miserably. in 1849. he had a few years of being successful. in the 1850s, walt whitman, the most vilified and misunderstood poet of the century, i'd think, comes into the village to hang out in the first celebrated

i'm simply copying what alexander hamilton suggested to george washington. and the first congress of the united states. there are other elements in it that play into this in a similar way. and certainly we know that thomas jefferson was really big on education. and so the university of virginia came up. these are the elements of economic growth. and here we are, 435 of us in the house of representatives, and the question for us is, are we going to put in place policies that provide the foundation for economic growth or are we going to go the opposite direction and continue on the austerity route which actually disinvests on those key elements that create economic growth? for me, i'm an investor. i want to invest in america's future. with infrastructure, education, innovation, research and manufacturing in america. those are the policies that i believe we need to put in place, mr. tonko. you and i have been here many nights and we've talked about these issues many, many times. and we're not going to stop, are we? mr. tonko: you know, we're not. and i think it

quickly became the main opposition to alexander hamilton in the federalist party and drove the federaliststy. then in 1824 a split. a band of democratic republicans who were philosophically lined with jefferson became the democratic party. nominated andrew jackson for president. only to watch him lose when the election was thrown to the house of representatives. but four years later he tried again and he won. you had andrew jackson, your first democratic president. so, yeah, in a historical sense there is an obvious logic to state democratic parties holding jefferson jackson dinners. the there are also problems. especially when it comes to jackson. as president he passed one most cruel and least humane laws in the american history. it was called the indian removal act of 1830 and it did just what its title said. tens of thousands of native americans living in the southeast were uprooted. point of a bayonet. marched hundreds of miles to what's now oklahoma. thousands die order their way and many more weakened by the journey and died soon after reaching their destination. history remembers t
