Made in America part 2

United Steelworkers President Leo W. Gerard, Allegheny Technologies CEO Patrick Hassey, and United States Steel Corp. COO John Goodish discuss how the union and the companies have worked hard to compete in a global market. They stress that we can compete with any company in the world. The problem we're competing with governments that unfairly subsidize their industries. Part of the solution is to enforce our existing trade laws and demand that any candidate running for office promise to do something about the unfair competition.

That was awesome! And like they were saying, the problem lies within our Government stiffling our corporation with red tape, and contracts that should go to American companies are going overseas. Something needs to be done in order for our nation to keep afloat.

Thanks for commenting. I try to buy American. I love this country, but it is sad to see how it rather have a country of homeless poor people then have a country with working class with their own products.

How when they keep shutting them down and sending them to China, Mexico, ect? I love to buy American, let alone anything. I can't really afford crap. I'm getting 17 hours a week. Can't buy nothing.

I noticed that the airlines, steel factories, tire and autombile factories seem to be always getting hit. Instead of cutting jobs, go after the people that do make the money, and do make the 50 hours. Don't go after the people that do need jobs to make ends meet. Go after people like Bill Gates. I mean don't make him poor, but at the same time, does he need billions of dollars?
