Default George and Steel Tarifs

FYI:

You have to give Bush credit:

"PITTSBURGH (Reuters) - President Bush picked up $850,000 in campaign
contributions in the heart of America's steel industry on Tuesday even
as he prepared to lift tariffs that have been helping the steelmakers.

Supporters of the tariffs lodged a last-ditch effort to keep the
protections in place. Bush heard arguments from Pennsylvania Republican
Sen. Arlen Specter and U.S. Steel Corp. Chairman Tom Usher, a sponsor of
the campaign fund-raiser which the Bush re-election campaign said had
been planned long before the steel decision became imminent.

Scores of steelworkers demonstrated near the Pittsburgh site of Bush's
event."

In admiration,

Marv
