Bush sooooo doesnt know what a free market is. If there was a market for US steel then US steel would not need saving!

The European official who spoke about the way the union was proceeding said the list of products to be sanctioned was drafted with American domestic political impact in mind. Citrus fruit is on the list because of its importance in Florida, where the 2000 presidential vote was extremely close, the official said; steel made the list because of its importance in West Virginia and Pennsylvania, and textiles because of North and South Carolina, four important battleground states in midterm elections this year.
Is the EU stupid? They picked certain industries because of it impact on "American domestic politics" but the states that they picked are not up for grab(PA, FL) or not in play(SC, NC). If the SC, NC Senate seats go Rat then something major happened. I say if they are this stupid let the trade war begin and Bush will kick their ass.

V, The only possible way members of the EU, and Japan can produce steel cheaper than the U.S. of A. is if the countries subsidize the energy costs of the manufacturers. The energy to produce steel {gas and oil} is MUCH cheaper in the U.S. of A. than in the EU, or Japan. Though, I understand we are seling Alaskan oil to Japan at reduces rates. Or, were anyway. Bush should sue the EU for past subsidiea of steel that brought our mills down. Peace and love, George.

Europe want to sell us steel at low prices so we can by cars trucks, washers, dryers, refrigerators and so on at lower prices. And we are against that? I don't understand.

Thanks Bush, you stupid moron, for raising taxes. This was 100000% about politics only (West Virginia).
