1. Real early on in this alleged administration |

something happened that often goes overlooked. There was a tarriff on foreign (cheap) steel which was flooding the market here in the USA. Bush promised to keep the high tariffs and shortly after he got selected, proceeded to lift them, thereby once again flooding the American market with foreign steel, mostly from Japan and China. This has had an effect on the U.S. manufacturing base. We need American steel for American vehicles, etc. The climate of outsourcing must change and change quickly.
