I think one needs to look at the bigger picture. In my opinion this move was more about national security than about job creation. We have allowed our ability to produce steel (tanks ship, jeeps etc) and aluminum (aircraft) to fall to dangerous levels We would never be able to reproduce what we did in WW11 and I don't believe we have to with the advancements in todays military. However if we were to have a full scale war it would likely be with North Korea and the reality is that China could very well side with them. In that event we certainly couldn't rely on China to provide us with either steel or aluminum...could we?
China has been silently developing a massive war machine and it is making those in power rather nervous. Just this week we sent the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier to Vietnam as a show of force and we have also agreed to talks with North Korea. I'm definitely not a conspiracy nut, but these are just some observations I have recently noticed.
