The Wall Street Journal says that new life has suddenly come to Granite City, Illinois. Now. Two years ago, under Obama, the United States Steel Corporation scaled down operations. Fifteen hundred workers were laid off. Those layoffs had a ripple effect. Other businesses suffered to like companies that sold work boots or delivered lunches to hungry employees. Within a year of US Steel scaling back, twenty six other businesses closed. Granite City,
population thirty thousand, was crushed. But then President Trump announced he was imposing tariffs on foreign steel imports, on products made by companies that are often highly subsidized by foreign governments, and suddenly things changed. US Steel announced that one of the furnaces they'd shut down would be fired up again. Five hundred workers were called back to work, some as early as this week. Average salary is close to sixty
thousand dollars. Meanwhile, in The Washington Post, Katrina Van den Huvel urged readers not to be fooled by Trump's tariffs because he's running a con. It's typical left wing bs written by somebody who never spent a day in her life at a steel mill or worrying about paying the bills after being laid off from that good steel mill job. Katrina, don't worry that people of Granite City and other towns like it know exactly who's running the con and it
isn't President Trump. It's all of you people on the left who've been telling these people you're looking out for him when you don't care a whit about them.
