Trump announces tariffs which will raise the price of steel in the US.
An Indian company buys out a US company to take advantage of that increase in prices in the US market.

Granted, this will provide some US jobs,at JSW but what impact will the price increases have on other US consumers and companies? And presumably JSW wouldn't do this if it didn't think it would increase its corporate profits accordingly, so isn't this in net a redistribution of income from American consumers to Indian stockholders?

All we need now is 40,000 more just like it and the GNP will DOUBLE!
only a dumbass would assume only one company is being added. Are you unaware of all the other factories? Your ignorance is causing you to embarrass yourself.
Originally posted by @suzianne Unfortunately, massive corporate profits and even windfall profits never translate to jobs for Joe Average on the street.
Most of it gets blown on managerial bonuses.
only if you ignore the RECORD jobs growth since Trump took office. Just not a good time to be a liberal is it? LOL
