price of steel

I guess it all depends on how you look at things. 

Do you want cheap stuff and aren't concerned about quality?  If you do, then you can expect to get whatever quality that you're willing to pay a cheap price for.  Remember all of the cheap, imported drywall used in Florida a few years ago that had to be ripped out and replaced with quality drywall?

I work in the steel industry, and if you knew the how the cheap, imported steel coming into the US was actually affecting the steel companies, their employees, their community and economy, you might see things differently.

But, if all you care about is saving a buck and foregoing quality, you might be against the tariff.

That's so true.  I remember back in the late '70s, I had previously quit college and joined the Air Force, and after serving for four years, I returned to college.  I was a computer programmer and went back to continue on in my career by taking business classes so that I could understand the guts behind the programs I was developing.

One of the professors told the class that America was basically going to hell because the young people had drifted away from the 'we're in it together' attitude to a 'I'm out for me and screw everyone else' attitude.  Wasn't it 10-15 years ago that '60 Minutes' did a 30 minute piece on how the attitudes had changed, and the way that the younger generation were changing our society.

Like I said, a person should get everything they ask for, and as the old adage says, 'Be careful what you ask for, because you just might get it'.
