Ah JakeStraw another useless poster with nothing at all to add. Trying to scroll useful posts with your drivel? You cannot comprehend basic English-language rules. That is truly sad. That's quite amusing but useless in moving any discussion forward. ----------- Bush tries to be the protectionist-in-chief (what happened to pure Darwinian Capitalism?) but decides he's really confused instead. news.bbc.co.uk "President George W Bush has repealed US tariffs on imported steel to avoid a damaging trade war. The decision follows a World Trade Organisation decision that the duties, imposed in March 2002, are illegal. Mr Bush had justified them by saying foreign steel firms were driving US firms out of business with unfair competition and government subsidies... The tariffs were originally imposed to satisfy an election pledge Mr Bush made to steel bosses and workers. He may now face a backlash from those workers who said he promised to keep the tariffs in place for three years. On Thursday the largest US steelworkers' union, the United Steelworkers of America (USWA) said the administration had caved in to "European blackmail," and had betrayed workers and steel communities - many of which are in crucial election battleground states...." ------- Ooops, guess Shrubbery really can't keep his promises.
