Not in my neck of the woods. The closed factories are still closed. The empty industrial sites are still empty.

The song “Living Here in Allentown” still fits.

It’s a very complicated issue. And I don’t blame Trump very much. Two years is not enough time to fix twenty years of poor decisions. But the buck stops at the Oval Office.

That surprises me.

Last year, I remember hearing the CEO of U.S. Steel saying that steel factories have re-opened, and new ones are being built. The CEO went on to credit the Trump tariffs for this re-newed economic activity.

Lowering the corporate tax rates to 21% has helped the recovery (although apparently not in your area). I heard China has a corporate rate of 25% and Russia has a personal and corporate income tax of 14%.

Are you in Pennsylvania?
