Because this is campaign finance reform week in Congress, herewith a question:
Steel tariffs and quotas would cost domestic steel users many billions of dollars - perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars for every steelworker's job saved.

Is this kind of political contribution going to be regulated? Or will regulations limit only the much smaller and voluntary contributions by individuals?
