This is where you are completely wrong. Steel manufacturing in the US is ancient compared to newer, smaller steel manufacturers overseas.
I know this industry well. It is not advanced compared to overseas facilities.

Horsefeathers.

US steelmaking technology remains among the most productive industries on the face of the planet. In fact, US steelmakers such as Nucor operate at productivity levels exceeding 1000 tons/employee. However, these high-tech mini-mills achieve their productivity levels by recycling scrap. Our national average is somewhat lowered by the existance of larger, integrated mills that are used to produce steel from virgin raw materials and ore. Many smaller nations do not have this capability.

Advanced US steelmaking technology is being undercut in the global market by more antiquated, pollution-belching technology.

Frankly Erik, your lack of understanding of these facts exposes you as a fraud.
