GREAT AGAIN: New Life For Steel Plant Perks Up Depressed Illinois Town...

[Harpy Eagle]

Yeah. We lost it, but now that we have tariffs, steel mills will be back up in no time! Ask a Trombie.

Nothing else has worked... so now we go to the matresses...

No. Sorry. Much has worked. What hasn't worked is TRICKLE DOWN economics. But that's what we are now trying AGAIN.

See ya on the other side.

/——/ And when it does work will you have the balls to admit it?

Do you have the balls to admit it has not worked in the past?

/——/ You were barely 20 when Reagan was president I was 35 and experienced trickle down working.

The fact that a drip might have bounced out of the pot above you and landed in your direction does not mean that trickle down works. Anecdotal evidence proves nothing, it means that maybe you got lucky.

If this is the logic you wish to go with then whatever you want to call the shit Obama did worked well since my personal family income tripled under Obama. Or it could be that my wife and I both worked our asses off and improved our station in life and did not rely on some economic theory to do it for us.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

...No. Sorry. Much has worked...

Incorrect. Our trade-imbalances, with respect to manufactured goods, and our closed factories, tell us what we need to know.

Not really, it just gives you one small part of a much larger picture.

We are at 104 straight months of economic expansion, the third longest such period in the history of our country and there is no end in sight.

We are at 89 straight months of positive job growth, which I belive is the longest such streak in our history, with no end in sight for that either.

We have a trade imbalance with respect to manufactured goods because other countries make shit we the citizens of this country want to buy, it is really that simple. It is the same reason I have a trade imbalance with my local BestBuy, they have shit I want to buy.

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...

2-14 workers per sift.

Plant is almost entirely automated.

TRUMP FAIL.

Make American forget what a lying piece of shit he is...

You got too much hate in ya, kid. Any new quality jobs for Americans is good news. Try laying off the Democrat Fake News for awhile. It's clearly infected you with its ugly hate.

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.

so it is all or nothing? can't it start somewhere?

Yeah, it's so sad to see some so angry at the person who's at least trying to bring quality jobs back to Americans. Where's all the anger at the Globalists who've decimated American Workers? If those folks had expressed such anger at them over the years, maybe the Globalists would have been stopped.

I guess it's only all about the irrational partisan hate. They hate Donald Trump, and that's that. It's very ignorant short-sighted thinking. Personally, i'm very grateful we finally have a US President fighting for American Workers again.

 

[Dschrute3]

Hopefully this is just the beginning....

Amen. It's about time this country started fighting for American Workers again. The Globalists have decimated quality American Jobs for years. It's time to turn things around.

I watched Wilbur Ross on tv last week and he said more is coming....most likely taxes on cars bring imported is one

It's unbelievably refreshing having a US President daring to look out for American Workers. We haven't seen that in so many years. The Globalists in both Parties have decimated quality American Jobs. It's time to help our own again. Go Trump!

Trump doesn't produce one single item in the USA to sell in the USA...How is he helping when he is part of the problem?

At least the man's trying. We haven't seen that from a US President in many years. He's daring to take on the Globalists who've decimated quality American Jobs. It's incredibly brave. Good on em.

Swap 100 steel jobs for minus 1000 jobs everywhere else. WOoooo go Trump. Making jobs and ignoring everything else since 2017!

That's just hateful Democrat Fake News talkin, kid. There is no credible evidence supporting the assertion that for every 100 steel jobs created, a 1000 jobs will be lost. Maybe try laying off Democrat Fake News for awhile. You're being manipulated. You're being lied to.

what jobs were lost?

U.S. Added 313,000 Jobs in February. Here’s What That Means.

None. But he or she heard it on Democrat Fake News. So it must be true.

At least he's trying to bring quality American Jobs back to our country.

To what detriment?

Why steel tariffs failed when Bush was president

/----/ SO WHAT DO WE DO, JUST SIT BACK AS THESE COUNTRIES DUMP SUBSIDIZED STEEL IN THE US?

Well my friend...... Look at the current economy. Does it look like these companies that are in the steel and aluminum business are suffering? These are the casualties of success which is very good as far as in general are concerned.

Here is the reality. Forget that you are a Trump supporter for a second.
The bottom line:
1. Prices of steel and aluminum all over US may it be local or imports will increase tremendously favoring his buddies.
2. Prices of products that are heavily rely on steel and aluminum such as cars, can goods, medical instruments manufacturers, tools etc etc etc...... will increase.
3. Hard to compete overseas with our products as it is.
4. Our partners overseas will retaliate. Thus harder to sell our products as it is.
5. Remember some of those countries can live with less sacrifices without buying our products.
6. I’m in the medical instrumentation business. How much do you think I will increase the cost of my instruments? $5. $10........ How about maybe at the minimum $1,500 or $2,000.

Bad idea. Very bad idea.

/——-/ OK you convinced me. Let’s just roll over and play dead. Problem solved.

That's already happened. The Globalists threw American Workers overboard years ago. Trump's trying to repair the awful damage. But it won't be easy. The Globalists won't go down without a bitter fight. They'll side with foreign entities, rather than help fellow Americans out.

Globalists are not Patriotic folks by any means. They'll sell a fellow American out at the drop of a hat. Trump's going up against some very nasty powerful forces. But hopefully he'll prevail. It's time to turn things around. Time to fight back.

But wait, there's more!

U.S. Steel is bringing back 500 workers, but tariffs could cost thousands of jobs

/----/ I like the Libtard Moonbat approach, "Roll over and play dead. Let the Chinks and Japs use US workers as a door mat. It's worked for decades."
View attachment 182249

I suspect it's mostly about their indoctrinated rabid hate for Trump. They've been conditioned to oppose anything he proposes. It's blind partisan hatred. The reality is, we finally have a US President willing to take on the Globalists, and bring quality jobs back to Americans.

And yes, there might be some painful moments in the process, but it's what's best for the future. We need to get back to creating and manufacturing again. That's the only way quality jobs will return to our country.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Quality jobs are out there for people with high tech skills and education to perform those tasks. America is pretty dumb and can't take advantage of what is offered.

Filthy Don is a globalist himself. Most of his products are made overseas; he's pandering to the dumb racist masses and ran his campaign as such.

Anyways, most automotive plants are subsidied here in the USA anyways (can you say the South?)....we are pushing to a more socialistic economy day in and day to compete worldwide and pay extra taxes to put our people to work.

This is true. The problem however is people won't go out there and get that education for themselves. The left has trained them that if it doesn't come from government at no cost, there is no sense of doing it on their own.

At least he's trying. We haven't seen a US President do that in many years. They stood down and watched the Globalists decimate American Workers. They sold their fellow Americans out. Hopefully we can start turning that around now.

But no one should think the Globalists will go down without a bitter fight. They will retaliate. Remember, they're not patriotic folks. They have no problem selling fellow Americans out. But at least the fight has begun. And i gotta give Trump bigtime props for that.

Do you know why he has his products made overseas? Because if he has them made in America, it would cost more and the American consumers won't buy them. All those Democrats are not packing Walmart because of the quality of their goods.
