A tariff placed on imported steel will raise the price of steel in the US.
You want steel protection because the price of steel has been declining. But this has been happening for many years and can mainly be attributed to new technology lowering the cost of production, not from imports.
You believe that the tariffs will protect jobs, but what of the jobs in other industries such as auto, appliances etc. that rely on steel?
The big troubled steel companies have to worry about the domestic competition, not the foreign.
Its good to see Rolla that you are so much more qualified to make economic policy than the people who have dedicated their lives and carreers to it. Im looking foward to the day we can see your name in print as a cabinet member [img]smile.gif[/img] Ok that was sarcasm...your post just sounded like the Monday Morning Quarterbacks...seriously if you are an economic expert in the field of tarrifs and trade please, volunteer your services to the government, you will be able to make quite a decent living here in the nations capitol. This is a serious invite, because for people who really are talented it is very very easy to get involved. If I get some time Ill PM you a couple of addresses down on NewHampshire ave, they have an organization that does nothing but work on Economic models.
