M.O.B. Votes:

1. only 3% of the steel we imported was Chinese origin
2. If it is such crap, why would it be bought
3. Why not ban unsafe stel altogether
4. What about all of the other steel we are putting tariffs on?

Please explain why this message is being reported.

Well it's been a belief of his for close to 40 years - MrBlueSky MU - 1/7 11:08:37

That's what I expect to happen; and tariffs will drop on - 90Tiger MU - 1/7 11:06:20

Part of his tariff deal is giveaways to ag as well - El-ahrairah BAMA - 1/7 11:01:43

what's interesting about it? when gvmt subsidizes an - 90Tiger MU - 1/7 11:07:36

seems to me - meatiger MU - 1/7 11:09:37

so if Trump subsidizes US Steel companies by giving htem - 90Tiger MU - 1/7 11:14:06

then you're an idiot and ignored my post entirely (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 1/7 11:11:48

Are Americans too stupid to buy which steel works best - El-ahrairah BAMA - 1/7 10:53:53

Maybe....we do it with Big Pharma - Mormad MU - 1/7 10:55:46

We pay high prices because we subsidize drug for Europe and - TigerMatt STL - 1/7 11:06:31

Safety is one of those things a free market can determine - Newcatbirdseat MU - 1/7 10:57:15

Lol, only after something negative happens - MrBlueSky MU - 1/7 11:04:39

Pharmaceuticals risk expensive lawsuits when medication - TigerMatt STL - 1/7 11:10:55

I was speaking to saftey in general with regards to the - MrBlueSky MU - 1/7 11:11:55

That is true. But depending on the medication there are - TigerMatt STL - 1/7 11:18:32

Certainly - MrBlueSky MU - 1/7 11:21:32

Yes. And the pharmaceutical makers would be subject - TigerMatt STL - 1/7 11:29:24

Which would lead pharma and other companies to adopt this - MrBlueSky MU - 1/7 11:31:44

Which puts them at more risk than now with the taxpayer - TigerMatt STL - 1/7 11:50:30

because of government intervention - El-ahrairah BAMA - 1/7 10:56:45

Not at all - meatiger MU - 1/7 12:52:05

Isn't a lot of it bought via Canadian cover? - Mormad MU - 1/7 11:05:21

Yes. - Spanky KU - 1/7 11:11:46

Then why put a tariff on it? - El-ahrairah BAMA - 1/7 10:52:05

Because the US steel industry was being decimated by - Spanky KU - 1/7 11:03:19

Maybe they should have innovated? - MrBlueSky MU - 1/7 11:10:41

or eliminated all gvmt regulation and standards and - 90Tiger MU - 1/7 12:15:44

Or cheated on their quality testing like the Chinese - Spanky KU - 1/7 11:12:31
