Depends on where you stand. If it puts American loggers back to work. Adds tax payers to the ranks which in a good world would lower the tax burden on all of us. Then yes you should do a little jig.

If you main worry is being competitive with builders. Losing profit percentages then you might be pissed.

my problem is i live on a fixed income and still have work to do on the homestead. a 30% increase in the cost of material hits me hard.

since you brought this up, how many unemployed loggers are there in the US?
