Bush protectionism might have political price By JAY BRYAN: Maybe one day, Bush political strategists will even acknowledge that the same logic applies to the punitive tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber that keep coming back in defiance of the facts and the welfare of U.S. consumers, who either pay more for housing or are simply priced out of the market.
As for the impact on jobs, for each worker in the U.S. logging and sawmill industries, there are about 25 workers in jobs, like construction, that depend on competitively priced lumber. It's not hard to do the math.------------------------------------------- posted 5:31 AM :: reference link ::
