I too think it was politically motivated..in part. But also there is something else to consider. If other countries are propping up their steel industries and then they sell cheaper here because of that support, do we not have an obligation to do something?

I think it was politically motivated because of upcoming elections in areas of the country where many steel workers live. Excellent move for the next election as this will be tied up in court a year or more before a compromise is reached and, of course, the election will be over and the conservatives back in charge, as it should be. Life will be good again. daschle back where in belongs in limbo and Jeffords out completely before long. Ken

>> Republicans are supposed to be the party of free trade << gee, i thought republicans like to refer to themselves as being from the party of lincoln? i guess washington, adams, jefferson, hamilton, clay, etc would have all made bad republicans because they all believed in protective tariffs. lincoln, teddy roosevelt, mckinley, harding, taft, coolidge, hoover etc apparently didn't get your message either because they all supported tariffs. in truth it is folks from the left such as woodrow wilson and fdr that we must thank for these dogmatic, utopian, free trade fantasies ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I don't know much about the tariff. But I know this much. When we buy manufactured goods abroad, we get the goods and the foreigner gets the money. When we buy the manufactured goods at home, we get both the goods and the money." --Abraham Lincoln "Give us a protective tariff, and we will have the greatest country on earth" --Abraham Lincoln "Abandonment of the protective policy of the American Government must result in the increase of both useless labour, and idleness; and so, in proportion must produce want and ruin among our people" --Abraham Lincoln "Thank God I am not a free-trader. In this country, pernicious indulgence in the doctrine of free trade seems inevitably to produce fatty degeneration of the moral fibre." --Theodore Roosevelt
