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,

1500 workers were laid off. Those layoffs had a ripple effect. Other businesses suffered too,

like companies that sold workboots or delivered lunches to hungry employees.

Within a year of U.S. steel scaling back, 26 other businesses closed. Granite City

population 30,000 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. U.S. steel announced that one of the furnaces they'd

shut down would be fired up again. 500 workers were called back to work, some as early as this week.

Average salary is close to $60,000. Meanwhile, in the Washington Post, Katrina Vanden Houveau

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

are granted city and other towns like it. No 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

them when you don't care a whit about them.
