It's not that easy. What do we do when bleeding red socialist countries subsidize their own steel manufacturers, who then dump their steel on our market, forcing our (arguably) "freer" producers out of business?

That's just it, THEY AREN'T.

The commerce department has this magic ability to see foreign government subsides that no one else can see.

Currently we have tarrifs on Canadian softwood lumber under the auspices of illegal Canadian subsides, however no one outside the commerce department has the ability to see these imaginary subsides, we have lost this fight at the WTO 4 times in a row and we just keep going back for more abuse and we are going to lose of steel too.

Let's say it does save steel workers' jobs, and for every steel workers' job saved, 10 others in another industry lose theirs because of the increase in steel prices. How can you call that saving jobs?
