Am I the only one, aside from President Trump, that sees the necessity of domestic production of steel and aluminum?
China sells us steel. China takes Taiwan. Any reaction by the US is met with an embargo of steel and aluminum.
This is about more than trade.
Yup. One of the reasons we won WWII is because of our manufacturing capabilities.
No, I see the necessity of it, same with energy and food. If a nation can’t provide for itself, what good is it? How does a nation develop wealth, import it? Remember in the 90’s we were going to be a service economy, and get rid of that dirty manufacturing, how did that “service” economy work out? Then, after that, according to GWB, we’re a “consumer” economy. What are we going to do, consume our way into wealth. Just for the record, the steel&alum tariffs will hurt me, but I’m an American first.
