Treason! Why can we not provide the material???
Uh, wouldn’t the very French-looking John Kerry (who, by the way served in Vietnam) refer to this as OUT-SOURCING?? Oh, but the Bay Area Liberals probably refer to this as bringing DIVERSITY to the bridge! Pardon me. I’m so ignorant. I didn’t attend Haarrrrrrvrd ya see.
here’s how that stimulous money helps create infrastructure jobs! In China
My uncle owned a machine shop and got his steel from China....40 years ago!!
Word to the wise.
Stay away from the Bay Bridge if you value your life.
Where are Obama’s UNIONS on this? /LOL
We’re in big trouble if the bridge pieces were constructed with the same quality workmanship they manufacture toys that are shipped to the USA.
So is this going to be real steel? Or pot-metal surrounded by a steel outer cover?
Hey California A$$-holes, what’s wrong with U.S. Steel?
Better get the “Steel Certs” from them. It will help with litigation and warranty claims when this things falls into the bay.
RIP, Bethlehem Steel, 18572003.
" U. S. Steel is a leading supplier of sheet products to a variety of building product manufacturers that serve the diverse construction industry. Our markets include metal building systems, roofing and siding components, doors, commercial and residential framing, truss plates and connectors, decking, bridge and highway products, culvert, central heating and air conditioning equipment, water heaters, retail shelving systems, and steel furniture."
The Chinese government probably bought the bridge bonds to finance the bridge. They do this when they want to help elderly economies maintain their transportation infrastructure to ship their manufactured goods away from their ports.
Chinese ships, shipping Chinese goods, to Chinese owned ports, transported over Chinese made bridges, financed by Chinese bond companies.
We did when we had a productive, surplus capital to poor countries. Now they are doing it to going poor countries.
On the other hand, by force of government, with the help of GW Bush, Hank Paulson, and the Democrats, we are ‘investing’ in loser auto companies, loser auto finance companies, loser big banks and in Federal/State/Local government workers who we need to manage shutdown of America.
Lots of American Elites will facilitate the bust out of America. They get profits, the Chinese and others the markets, and Americans get massive public debts to repay.
Predicted, happening, natural.
as someone who laid track for Bethlehem Steel this makes me sick
Huh????
And what is wrong with the steel produced in the US? NOTHING. Oh, I forgot we live in a Global economy.
