Keep hering about it increasing the cost of goods as a back drop of defiance.. What has inflation been since Trump imposed them on China? 2-3%? Libs on here never answer.
Yet lets blow thru trillions in the budget,,,nah we good.
What a joke. The vast majority of Aluminum imports comes from Canada and that is only because they have cheap power. China put almost every single aluminum smelter in the US out of business by flooding the market with cheap aluminum. I'm amazed that the UAE even has a smelter.I'm sure the resident protectionists will be trumpeting this triumph.

I think this is a shining example of how President Silver Alert, aka SlowJoe is on the wrong side of every issue. Let's review. Cancel the project: kills jobs. Also cancel the project: Screws the environment nutbags because now all that oil that would have been efficiently moved thru a pipe will now be going via rail and tanker truck. It is a complete lose/lose scenario.A bird in the hand or two in the bush? The Keystone jobs were right there guaranteed. The tens of thousands of other jobs are not guaranteed.
Am I not thinking this through correctly?
China is 2nd after Canada. Do you wonder why we import aluminum or steel?
Hate to say it but we are headed for the trash heap of history.Bunch of auto plants are idled now because the can't get the integrated circuits built in places like China. Imagine trying to get stuff from China when they decide to cut us off completely or go to war with us. There's a lot of stupidity in the world when it comes to national security and wellbeing. It's not a new lesson either; our manufacturing kept us and the allies in operation during WW2.
