[Alberta's Child]

As I've said many times here ... whether a tariff on steel is a good idea or a bad idea depends entirely on whether you're SELLING steel or BUYING it.

I'm actually a fan of tariffs, but imposing them on specific products or raw materials does nothing except pit different U.S. industries against each other.

I know it is impossible, but the steel tariff must be thought of as a laser aimed rifle shot and not a blast of Number 7 1/2 shot gun pellets.

First of all, at present there is no such tariff imposed. When the tariff is actually imposed, it will be first on dumped steel and then on steel from recalcitrant trade pardners.
