Trumps tax cuts ad regulation reform will more than offset pressure to raise prices on consumers.

‘You state this as fact, please provide source.’

The article posted was an opinion piece, not facts. My opinion is that taken as a whole (corporate tax cuts, less regulation, some tariffs etc ) will be a wash at worse on prices.

OK, so with all due respect, you really don’t know this, it is your opinion based on well, your opinion.

Well, I disagree on principle.

The steel industry, like every other business got a huge tax cut (a reduction down to 21% if they even pay that much) and onerous regulations are being peeled back to make industries more competitive.

Therefore, steel industry does need subsidizing by the middle class thru tariffs IMHO.

According to Speaker Ryan, the tax cuts will provide an average family earning $73,000 a reduction of $2,059.*

You state at the worst (sic) it will be a wash—well let’s say you are correct (even tho you have no date to support that).

...Well, why is that a good idea?? Why should it be a wash? People were not thinking they were getting a tax cut to pay for steel subsidies. They thought they were going to be able to get ahead.

Frankly, I think people would be apoplectic if Obama had done this—Why do I think this? Because they were with the GM and other auto bailouts.

BTW, did not see that the article was an editorial, it provided some facts and even if it was an “{opinion piece” that does not mean people cannot provide facts in their posts and I would like to see more of them from people who think this is a good idea.*
