Sources for what? The $13/ton labor cost? The amount a retiree pays for healthcare out of their own pocket?

Here is the source for the $13/ton: Trade rules must be enforced

Since I am a steel industry retiree, I think I know a little about the healthcare figures...oh wait...I'm one of those you'd have starve or die...

Sorry to disappoint you, but I plan on staying alive thanks. BTW, I worked in a mill for 30 years...got two BS degrees while I was there and right now I'm three credit hours away from my MBA. I think I know a little more about the steel industry than you do...

"oh wait...I'm one of those you'd have starve or die..."

I would be careful resting your credentials on the thin mantle of an over inflated, over priced academic system that has yet to feel the same deflationary pressures of your former vocation.

It doesn't take an advanced degree to acknowledge the source of the western world's economic woes.

Open Trade with a totalitarian tyranny... an organization ( no country ) with a currency that is about as transparent and flexible as a slab of concrete. With trading partners like this who needs an enemy.
