Hopefully this is just the beginning....
I think it is. From my neck of the woods:
Republic Steel bringing 1,000 jobs to Lorain
That's wonderful news Ray...the area should prosper

That area is about 20 miles west of Cleveland. It really went downhill when the mills closed up. They could use any help they can get.
I don't know how this will all end up; I was never crazy about the tariff idea, but the up front results are pretty hopeful.
We know bringing quality jobs back to American Citizens doesn't excite Democrats. It's all about placating Non-Citizens for them now. But for most others, this is great news.
Go Trump!
Ever since the layoffs a few years ago, many residents here had wondered when the local steel plant would again fire up its furnaces—or close forever.
Not only were hundreds of steelworkers left jobless when United States Steel Corp. X -1.49% scaled down its operations in Granite City, Ill., in 2015, but lunch deliveries to the plant vanished for a local diner while a shoe store’s work-boot sales plummeted. At least 26 businesses closed within a year, according to an area chamber of commerce.
“We were in a deep state of depression here, and not sure if it would ever open again,” said Mayor Ed Hagnauer, who was first elected in 2005.
Suddenly things are looking up for Granite City, an industrial town with a population of about 30,000 across the Mississippi River from St. Louis...

Steel jobs? Coal jobs? The cons love 18th century era, don't they?
Some third world countries are moving away from those industries and the dumb asses wants to go back to them.Steel jobs? Coal jobs? The cons love 18th century era, don't they?
The people who work in those industries sure do.

Who said I did? But only a leftist would believe that bringing jobs back to America is a bad idea. Now if we can just get rid of the foreigners who are keeping our wages down, America will be great again.

Mixed feelings.
Tariffs could certainly backfire, a hundred-fold.
Then again, long-term national security requires that we retain a substantial manufacturing base on our own soil, under our own control.
And that might require some considerable pain, in order to press the Reset button on Manufacturing in this country, before we get where we need to be.
What-the-hell... No Guts, No Glory.
We've gotta do something, and what we've been doing so far has not been getting the job done.
There is a difference between temporary, cheaper goods, leaving things unchanged, and long-term security, being able to "do" for ourselves.
There is very little doubt in my mind that we have lost our way, in that regard, in recent decades, our capability sacrificed on the Altar of Globalism.
Well... enough of that $hit... time to try something different... radical, even... to begin pushing back against those taking advantage of the US for decades.

Globalism huh?
How is it that the US is the richest nation in the world with the most powerful military in the world after decades of failure?
Are we lucky?
Wanna parlay that luck into a bet on an ignorant man's red meat call to morons?
The primary issue that we have is that our riches have been held by too few people and that has prevented the masses from rapidly adjusting to the changing economy.
It takes a fraction of the personnel to operate a steel plant now as compared to 30 years ago. Tarriffs won't change that. And that fact isn't the result of the joos having control.
so it is all or nothing? can't it start somewhere?We know bringing quality jobs back to American Citizens doesn't excite Democrats. It's all about placating Non-Citizens for them now. But for most others, this is great news.

I live a stones throw from Granite City, trust me it will take more than 500 folks going back to work for a little while to bring it back to life.
If you think they are excited now, just wait till they bring the horse-and-buggy back!!!I haven't seen Republicans this excited since Trump's failed Carrier deal.
