I would like to know more about the break down of the tariffs. Not all aluminum and steel is the same grade. When Trump said he wants the nation's military ships and planes made with American steel well it already is. A tariff isn't going to change that he is just trying to rile up his base. The stuff we import tends to be low grade. I would prefer to import it and keep our high grade stuff for making military planes and not sardine cans. So for me there has to be a difference on the tariffs placed on the raw materials. High tariff on high grade stuff keep the low grade stuff tariff free. Raising the price on steel and aluminum will impact the food purchasing power of our poorest members and I am not cool with that. Even if it is only 2 cents a can as was suggested that adds up.
