So when Bush “protected” the Steel Industry with tariffs and U.S. industries that consumed steel were greatly harmed, that was good for us. Got it.

“Protection” only means avoiding the consequences of competition. We can surely “protect” industries, which means they can avoid competing, delivering lower quality and quantity at higher prices.

Thanks, I’ll take the protection of the Free Market.

The US Steel manufacturers were hurt by Bush’s tarrifs? Nonsense. They were the ones pushing it.

Contrary to one-worlders wet dreams, the US must produce adequate amounts of steel, titanium, high tech components, food, nuclear reactors, and many other products in order to survive in a very hostile world.

Beautiful. That's a keeper. Can I steal that as my tag line?
