My company doesn't make steel. We use steel to make shit. We're a fab shop. So foreign steel dumping helps us because we can get better steel and get it a lot cheaper. Those stupid steel tariffs almost killed us because American steel is fucking expensive, and it's complete junk, and you ask why it's expensive and shitty steel.... Because unions drive up labor costs, which wouldn't be a bad thing if it wouldn't make guys lazy. I know a guy who works at a place that makes steel. It's called WCI, and he pulls in over $70,000 a year and has great benefits, but he fucking sleeps half the day, and sits on his ass the other half. He says he could produce a lot more, but sees no need to do so. That's a typical lazy union attitude. Because everyone that he works with has that attitude he will be looking for a job soon because that place is going under. There have been many steel manufacturers in this area close over the past 18 months. So what good did those steel tariffs do? The didn't help at all. The simple fact here is the steel making industry has been on the decline for over 30 years, and that has nothing to do with the government or Bush. It has everything to do with lazy fuckers who don't do work which are protected by worthless fucking unions.
