In terms of playing to your base, it's a good move. In terms of guarding the economy, it's a poor move. 

Big news around here about a steel production facility re-opening. Going to hire 500 people too.

That IS good news for the region.

And it also means I was wrong that the steel mills wouldn't re-open.    (Mostly because they were torn down...lol)

But I agree that everything I have read said it's winning one battle while setting up to lose the war.

I guess we'll see.
