I agree with keeping defense contractors local, but...
The goal proposed here isn't to cut spending (though I think that is also a worthy goal), the goal is to ensure spending is being properly accounted for. I'm not sure why working with US based companies would make proper accounting more difficult than going international.
I assume the point you are making is that after several rounds of audit failures and cuts, they would be forced to look for cheaper venders, but again, PASS THE F***ING AUDIT, then the cuts don't happen.
Everyone was losing their minds when some of the Covid PPP money was misused, and yes, that was bad, but the DoD misplaces many times that amount of money every year, and no one seems to care. It is totally unacceptable for the 2nd biggest government expenditure to be an unaccountable black box.
I don't know man.. when I go incognito and I fill in an amount and click on Donate with Debit or credit card, it takes me to a page where I can choose the country and bank/credit card details to fill in. It does not require a PayPal account.
No biggie either way.
Such a tough approach on business here could lead to investments in businesses in countries with less harsh terms. If they went this route they would also have to ensure private investor/venture capitalist money and also revenue stays in the country and is spent in the country.
