"At the time, GST's union blamed the company's bankruptcy on the political class, for failing to hamstring imports. "We can't compete against the steel imports that are being sold under cost," said the president of GST's union in 2001. "Our pleas fell on deaf ears in the political arena." The Bush administration would ultimately slap on giant tariffs."

No mention of the fact that these tarriffs were temporary, only lasting what, a few months, if that? Killed by the free traders? Oh, I know. If this mill hadn't been sacrificed, the entire company would have gone down.

Prove it.

Mitt couldn't strap on his cape and "save" it again?

Please.
