President Bush has just levied a tariff upon imported steel; this contravenes all the free market rhetoric he's been going on about. It's purely a political thing to gain him votes and funding, so once again we see the evils of unrestrained capitalism. It just makes me glad I live in the slightly less corporately dominated E.U (although that’s not a picture of virtue either.) But of course in the end they are all hypocrites, as long as they are doing well business love the free market, but as soon as they get into trouble all their ideology goes out the window and they go running for the governments protection. Boo! hiss! down with Bush and the free market, Its bad, its all bad.
By the way, Steel Tarrifs will do wonders for US steel companies, about damn time the US decided to take care of its own for a change.
