Why would you be surprised? She, Bernie, and Trump are all birds of a feather...

Far left liberals.

I think tariffs on steel and aluminum is a terrible idea. It will hurt manufacturers that use these products in the United States, which employ far more Americans than the steel and aluminum industries. A better alternative would be to offer incentives or discounts for customers that buy American-made steel and aluminum.


Import taxes are not a partisan issue. They are ingredients of a State-managed economy. And we all know what eventually happens to State-managed economies...

She's to the Democrats what Ron Paul was to the Republicans. Truth within an empire of lies.

...And she is one of the most vocally antiwar members of Congress, along with the Republican Liberty Caucus.

By offering superior quality. People are still going to buy imports despite of Trump trying to tax them to death.

This steel maker may have to cut jobs over this tariff. They`re reconsidering a $650 million upgrade to their rolling facility.

No. Its absurd to see people trying to argue free-trade is a liberal-left invention, while trying to argue tariffs are also a liberal-left thing.
