I think what you meant to say is, "This is what happens when the Government forbids competition."

It's pretty convenient how a company can make a profit when it can charge pretty much any price it likes. That's amazing!

What makes you so sure the foriengn steel supply is free market and not government subsidized? I think there is plenty of evidence to demonstrate the world steel market is not a free market.

Oh Bull$*&% This is what happens when dumping is stopped, don't try to hand me competition crap. When foreign governments are dumping subsidized steel in the US for less than the cost of production to prop up their own failed economic policies at home, don't hand me banned competition BS. "Free Trade" is the biggest scam ever perpetrated against america and it is NOT a tenement of conservative ideaology and it is shamefull that so many think it is.

No, what is amazing, is that you honestly believe "Free Trade" is that, and that you believe "Free Trade" is competition, and that you believe DUMPING is competative at all. Some foreign nation dumping subsidize products on US shores for less than the cost of production is nothing more than a ploy to prop up their own failed economic policies on the backs of US workers. It is illegal, it is shameful, and it is lunacy! "Free Trade" is not a tenement of conservatism, and it is disgusting that so many think it is. Its a scam, nothing more.
