Well I'd hope so. With all of us being forced by the federal government to pay for them, at least they can compete now. Wow... that's impressive.
Helloo... We have the MOST COMPETITIVE STEEL MARKET IN THE WORLD. STILL. No one is cheaper. We 'steel consumers' aren't hurt. Nor is anyone being fired for 'high' U.S. steel prices. CATIC's 'study' of 200,000 layoffs was debunked BIG TIME. Turns out the layoffs were all PRIOR to the President's tariff decision. And U.S. prices overall have gone up less 12%...while the World averages have skyrocketed far higher.
Since Our steel prices are actually LOWER than all our competitors...so who is actually being fired? Specifically, it turns out...only the importers of the dumped steel and their handlers. No loss there.
And with improved US productivity and structure...our prices will continue to be more effectively competitive than the rest of the world...thanks to the tariffs which prevent the U.S. steel industry destruction.
With this collossal success, it is time to move on to assessing tariffs across the board in other industries and save this country.
Your tag line says a lot about you.
So you think that when people get angry because their livelihoods are threatened, it's comical. I hope you still feel that way when the hungry, angry, pitch-fork carrying masses storm your Manhattan apartment.
But ... Tex. Don't worry, you always have the police or a private security force. They'll protect you. NOT!
