It's about striking a balance - Ferg MU - 1/7 11:09:06

He's just buying votes - Newcatbirdseat MU - 1/7 10:50:26

so he gets the steelworker and coal worker voting block - 90Tiger MU - 1/7 10:57:41

No.it makes you a typical big government hypocrite - meatiger MU - 1/7 12:50:58

Trump is pretty smart. - Newcatbirdseat MU - 1/7 11:04:43

Like the US-Can-Mex agreement - meatiger MU - 1/7 11:08:35

You think so? He literally thinks China is paying - MrBlueSky MU - 1/7 11:06:26

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

not from what I read on TB it isn't (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 1/7 11:02:23

White working class voters in the Great Lakes - MrBlueSky MU - 1/7 10:58:36

and all the other states he carried should have voted again - 90Tiger MU - 1/7 10:59:42

sell below market - meatiger MU - 1/7 11:05:23

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

A few things - meatiger MU - 1/7 11:03:39

you gonna put US inspectors in China plants? - tigerinhogtown STL - 1/7 11:13:42

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
