Yes and no. Yes more jobs will be needed to provide those resources, but at the same time prices will go up for those resources and items. Mostly this is due to the over-paid for production workers in Union shops; of which steel workers have. I have worked in a few union shops in the past and was always amazed at how much people would complain when they didn't get a raise by the calendar date though they spent much of their time doing the least that they could.

Before someone complains that I am anti-union; I'm not. I just would rather that the unions in the US were still serving a purpose as they did in the past. Currently the only thing I see them doing is ordering a strike for higher wages when the company is near failure; ordering a strike when a store chain offers part-time employees that chance to buy benefits at full price; and in the end driving up labor cost and thus end consumer costs. If the Union leaders would find some true concern for the worker and less for their own pay, then I would agree totally that more local jobs and less from China would be good; that is not the case unfortunately at this time.

Tariffs are very similar to embargos, as they both restrict commerce...and in cases like this...both suffer the conclusions...that is what congress says it does...manage commerce.Plus...it seems tyo be the excuse for using a currency.

Congress has done well in our country...as a very similar home costs different prices from one end to the other end...yet it is the same dollar bill. -

We should also send back all the Chinese illegal aliens and any illegal aliens to their countries, They take jobs away from Americans. They work for cheap and some US business owners take advantage of these workers who work for pennies. They work of the books and don't pay their taxes and you have 10 people or more living in an overcrowded apartment.

Increase tarffss on anything printed in China. I worked in the Printing Industry in the USA and
lost my job because our clients send their artwork to China for Printing. -
