      Foreign steelmakers have been subjected since March to 25% tariffs in the U.S. Instead of isolating imported steel as the most expensive in the market, domestic steel producers have raised their prices by as much or more, moves that have generated higher profits for those steelmakers and driven up costs for U.S. manufacturers. Foreign steel’s share of the steel market remains significant, and the U.S. continues to be the world’s largest market for imported steel.

        That's what always happens when tariffs are put in place. It doesn't create more jobs, in the long-term. It just increases costs paid by raw materials consumers, and eventually end consumers.

        "One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir

            Yeah, but if he actually understood things he'd be just as bad as the rest of those Wharton scumbags.

              Yeah, but he'd also be smart enough to legitimately be ultra-rich, and therefore not be compromised by foreign creditors.

              Either way, it's a lose-lose situation for America.

                          The sound you hear? The entrepreneurial spirit alive and well in Detroit.

                            American Capitalism Isn’t Working.

                            Not so long ago, corporate leaders understood they had a stake in the country’s prosperity.
                            This is a great article that explains how things have changed over the years and how those changes are destroying the country. Fits right in with the 23 trillion the Republicans have stolen from the lower and middle classes since 1980.
