I agree in terms of ending the dumping. This is a national security issue, IMHO. I do not want to depend on foreign steel to build the warships, tanks, and planes our troops will be counting on.

We need to stop the dumping, ASAP. Combine the tariff with a modernization tax credit. Take things from there.

I agree completely, but would point out that the US steel industry is modernized, within the last ten years. Technology is not the issue. How about ending the dumping and loosening EPA, OSHA, EEOC and other restrictive government regs? They are far more damaging that any perceived lack of modernization.
