Interesting CNBC article on the subject.
Tariffs ‘absolutely will’ bring back jobs to America: Steel CEO

'CNBC did not say it absolutely would bring back jobs. It quoted a Steel exec.

and it may bring back some jobs. We not going to see the jobs of the 60s, but that isn't the point. The point is whether we will pay more for steel that it would cost from another producer who isn't benefitting from unfair trade practices. Since Reagan, we've followed the econ theories of Hayek and Friedman/Schwartz that prosperity is best achieved, and totalitarianism opposed, through open/transparent markets.

It sure would be nice if we didnt have to pay tariffs to china for their goods.

Exactly. There are a whole bunch of other articles from CEOs of steel consuming industries that'll tell you many more jobs will be lost than gained overall. And one more thing: tariffs mean higher prices for anything made from or with steel. Maybe not as much as some say but probably more than some others say. It ain't really a good idea from a long term macro-economics point of view.

Wow, a US President actually looking out for American Citizens?! That hasn't happened in awhile. WTG Trump!


United States Steel Corp. said it would restart a blast furnace in Illinois to handle the higher demand it expects from President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on foreign steel.

The steelmaker said it also plans to call 500 employees back to work at the Granite City mill. U.S. Steel idled its blast furnaces there two years ago as a flood of cheap imports pushed down domestic steel prices. Steel producers have been hurt in recent years by increasing competition from foreign competitors, particularly China, that have ramped up production at lower prices...

I don't think anybody is saying that, maybe you could elaborate a little on what you mean. And can the vitriol BTW, it ain't really going to help make your case any.

No elaboration needed. If you call that vitriol you are a little too delicate.

So you don't know what you're talking about either. Look, you've been around for awhile so you ought to know better than this: don't be riding in, take a cheap shot without really aiming at anybody, and then ride out. So cut the crap and explain what you mean, who are you saying is against getting or keeping a job? I don't see anybody saying that.

And BTW, for those who posted fake numbers about China only sending us 2% of our steel, fuck off. China makes HALF of the steel produced in the world and trans-ships a lot of it to us through other countries. The real number of Chink steel sent to the US is 25%. If Canuckistan does what we demand on NAFTA, they come off the list...the EU and the rest.....starve for all we care, bitches.

I wonder why that plant couldn't compete with Canada steel?

I've been wondering that myself. We slapped a big tariff on Chinese steel a few years back I think, so it ain't them. I do know that Canada imports a lot of cheaper Chinese steel, are they using it or selling it to us? Why are other countries buying the cheaper Chinese steel? The steelworkers union there (Canada) is the same one that we have here, so are their steelworkers paid the same as ours? In a world where there's already a glut of steel out there from over production, how is it that the cost of US steel is so high in the US?

Yeah- its pretty easy to understand how Chinese steel could be cheaper- but Canadian steel?

Are Canadians just that more productive than Americans?

I think Trump lying about them keeping their job is terrible. Besides, many more will lose their job if Trump goes ahead with these leftist tariffs.

Fat Sanders said Trump is backing down though, so those workers need to keep their options open. It’s not smart to rely on Trump’s mood swings for your job.

Why would they 'transship' steel through other countries?

There are no quota's on Chinese steel- no restrictions on imports right now- why would they add additional costs to the transaction by shipping their steel through Australia or some such?

And to those of you who seem thrilled by this tax on Americans- fuck off.

I do. Every time it happens, and Trump takes credit, they act like Trump is hurting people by creating jobs. And the guy I did that to is famous for it.

Curious about the 25% number, where'd you get it?

this would be excellent fodder for an active thread about liberal ignorance elsewhere on USMB.

Highly doubt that. I have yet to see any other answer to your question though.
