Tariffs would only make steel more expensive and wouldn’t address the underlying problems of high taxes and too many regulations.

You actually believe the cover story handed out by the corporate elites. UFB.

And you are a fool if you think that tariffs do anything except drive up the price of goods for consumers.

Tariffs actually decrease the incentive for US companies to become lean and mean and takes away the incentive for companies to innovate.

It is the same story handed out in even the most rudimentary economics classes nationwide, primarily because it is an economic fact. American steel ceded market share to foreign producers decades ago. And they lost it for reasons that tariffs won't fix. Personally, I am not inclined to protect industries that will make me pay more for products than I currently pay.
