If all the manufacturing is done offshore and a complete product is purchased, it will just raise the price. If the steel is just used, it will raise the price.

Borh if those are the intended results. The issue is you won't see a difference in the price for either, no matter what steel is used. The US steel price can now be raised or the completed product price raised no matter where the steel came from. It's not like the old days where people were honest in pricing based on the supplies cost.

Agreed. Tariffs work IF you are providing the exact same service from start to finish. Corporations have outsourced so much of our manufacturing that we as a country have lost that battle.

Yep, the American Market is closed to free society manufacturing because it can't compete with slave labor. It's an unlevel playing field and we have no way back.
