Bump for later.

I've found that it's much harder to defend these tariffs on steel and aluminum than it is to defend across-the-board tariffs on products and raw materials.

I think Betsy McCaughey is smart, but I've come across enough of her articles and interviews in the last couple of years to question her credibility on specific issues. I suspect she's a paid shill for industry or political groups.

When I read this article in detail I'll also be interested to know if she discloses the fact that she's the ex-wife of U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross -- one of the strongest proponents of these tariffs in the Trump administration.
