Yes I do. The price of lumber is very imporant to me personally , not just the economy in general. The Bush admin thinks that the price of lumber is too low. So , they imposed tarffs on Canadian lumber. They think that there is a glut of lumber. I like the price low.

So , they imposed tarffs on Canadian lumber. Not quite. The price of our homegrown lumber is so damn high (and I'm sure you can figure out why) that lumber from Canada and overseas is a bargain. In a misguided attempt to make domestic lumber (mills, loggers, JOBS!!) competitive our good ol pres just increased the price of lumber from places that aren't hemstrung by envirals.
