Tariffs on aluminum and steel don't amount to much. It is a shot across the bow for further negotiating of trade deals. NAFTA was a sucking sound, as ole Ross Perot said. A tractor will go up from $520,000 to $521,000. IF ya believe that the $1,000 increase because of tariffs will be a deal breaker, then you can't afford a $520,000 tractor. www.thegwpf.com/paris-deal-advocates-vacating-white-house/

Seems Reasonable to Me - Of Course I'm Not An Economist (thank God) The principles behind a policy of economic nationalism, to turn our trade deficits, which subtract from GDP, into trade surpluses, which add to GDP, are these:
Production comes before consumption. Who consumes the apples is less important than who owns the orchard. We should depend more upon each other and less upon foreign lands.
We should tax foreign-made goods and use the revenue, dollar for dollar, to cut taxes on domestic production.
The idea is not to keep foreign goods out, but to induce foreign companies to move production here.www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/political_commentary/commentary_by_pat_buchanan/why_is_the_gop_terrified_of_tariffs

fox8.com/2018/03/09/republic-steel-partnership-to-restart-idled-blast-furnace/LORAIN, Ohio- A partnership between Republic Steel and a Minnesota iron ore company says it plans to restart a northeast Ohio blast furnace that's been idle since 2016. The Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports Lorain Pig Iron LLC says the furnace capable of producing 1 million tons of pig iron annually could be operating at the Lorain mill by the end of 2018. The partnership between Republic and ERP Iron Ore is considering restarting a second furnace at the mill to produce pig iron used in steel production.

Good News " Column: Why Tillerson’s departure is bad for U.S. climate change policy Making Sen$e Mar 16, 2018 8:43 PM EDT Earlier this week, President Donald Trump decided to oust Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, and replace him with CIA Director Mike Pompeo. Much has been written about staff shake-ups at the White House in the wake of Tillerson’s firing. What should we make of this change in regard to climate change policy?"www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/making-sense/column-why-tillersons-departure-is-bad-for-u-s-climate-change-policyA note about the author - his post would never work in UK.... "Robert Stavins is the Albert Pratt Professor of Business and Government at the Harvard Kennedy School." Couldn't put it better myself - A pratt professor Urban Dictionary: pratBasically someone whos a major idiot, or is delusional and dumb. Acts against logic and thinks hes self-righteous. AKA: Major dumbass. Good example: Percy from HP and from 5th book "You stupid prat!"
