this is a bad move by bush.he should never have imposed tarriffs on imported steel.this will hurt the people who buy steel(construction,ship building,and so on).
the reason u.s. steel costs so much is the fact that their union workers make almost forty dollars an hour.they make almost twice what other industrial workers make for comparable work.where do you think the cost is going to be made up?the other reason for the cost of steel is many countries subsidize their steel companies,thus they have artificially low prices.
