Yes, the price might be higher, but at least I am support American jobs in America.<<<
I like to think the price might be higher NOW, but buying American should eventually lower most things.
Americans are fickle. They wanted cheaper steel, high US prices (due to union labor, and enviromentalism IMO), was making Americans mad.
SO, Bush removes tarriffs on foreign steel (unable to get USA steel low, due to union labor/envoronmentalists), Americans start buying cheaper foreign steel.
Then The USA steel industry (UNIONS/ENVIROS) pitched a big fit!
Unions are useless. Get rid of them, we'll see lower prices from burgers to steel.
