I watched the local (Birmingham) news last night. At one point B'ham was the "Pittsburgh of the South" and actually was named after Bham England because the founders wanted it to be equally productive and prosperous. Even tho our steel industry isn't nearly what it was, there is still quite a sizeable chunk of people employed in that sector. They are really worried about layoffs now that Bush revoked the tarrifs. While I don't agree that he should have put them there in the first place, I do feel like he should make some sort of provisions to protect these people's jobs. But I'm not holding my breath.
