Maybe the Canadian steel firms will do the same thing, buy US Steels plants so they wouldn't be shipping steel to the US Of course you have to consider the retaliatory tariffs and look at the net impact, is the number of jobs US workers are gaining greater than the number they are losing by following a protectionist model? Hopefully, the jobs gained would be in Red States and the jobs lost would be in Blue States so I wouldn't care....:-) Our national leaders have taken our economic strength for granted for generations and the heartland got hallowed out as a result. Finally, we have a leader that is putting our country first and is going to insist on beneficial trade and as a result, Trump and his party is going to be in power for at least another term.

They basically took a massive payoff about a year ago from the state to open the plant there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These jobs would pay a lot better than the factory jobs and reduce the need for foreign labor. MAGA? the 'costs' are largely tax exemptions,infrastructure ect that would not be govt 'income' w/o the corp moving there in most cases that 'money' doesn't really exist to invest, though some give unused land or such haven't looked at this deal, but these type deals are not normal accounting.
