well i would not bet on that all of that steel is good old USA steel or so good they may be getting back alot of oversea steel

Don, I wasn't too much of a lying, cheating, thieving person, so I guess I wouldn't make much of a politician. That's what a guy in the area where we used to live had painted black, on a white garage. The city tried everyway they could to get him to remove it but he fought it all the way to the Indiana, Supreme Court. He wanted a permit to ad onto his garage and one thing lead to another then he painted on the side of his garage" If you want to get rich quick be a lying, cheating, thieving Politician." I should have taken a picture of it but we would see it all the time and just got use to it.

I worked at a steel mill in Chicago, U.S. Steel South Works. I saw the foreign steel coming into the ports 1974 U.S. Steel South Works has been a vacant lot since the early 90's at one time there were around 300 Iron workers alone I was one, plus all of the other crafts, I would guess from 6 to 10 thousand workers gone. The south side of Chicago at one time in the 60's from when I started to the 90's were about 6 steel Mills, gone. Gary, Indiana across the Lake U.S. Steel Gary Works is still going but they have nowhere near the people they once had. You are right probably most of the steel is going to back to its origin.
