You have not yet grasped how fleeting your benefit is. Tariffs are a temporary fix, and they tax all to help a few.

A) All that was needed was a temporary fix.

B) The price data indicate no real effect, hence no "tax". The bellyahcing by some is a lot of nonesense.

LOL. The US Steel industry is benefiting from two things right now:
1) The weaker dollar makes exporting to the US less desirable.
2) Strong economies in Asia are importing steel voraciously.

When these conditions change, the US Steel industry can't compete. Why? UNIONS.

I thought you wanted to talk facts. You don't seem to be equipped with any. The idea that there is no effect from a tax on raw materials is the real nonsense. All money comes from somewhere. Economics does not get much simpler than that.
