Yeah, what can I say that I haven't already said...tariffs cost jobs.

President Donald Trump's tariffs are hurting a Texas steel pipe manufacturer.
Borusan Mannesmann, which makes pipes for Texas' oil and gas refineries, estimates that the 25% tariff on imported steel will cost the company up to $35 million a year and k**l its plans to expand and hire more workers.

The company imports steel tubing and casing from its parent company in Turkey, and finishes the products at a factory in Baytown. It is seeking an exemption from the tariffs and is awaiting the administration's decision.

"It would really impact the community, which already has a 10% unemployment rate," CEO Joel Johnson told CNN's Poppy Harlow in an interview Wednesday. "We want to grow."

Good one Alex! Personally, I think Texas is the greatest state in the union. No other state can boost the diverse history, romance,and mystique that Texas has. "God Bless Texas!" or how about: "The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You!" Think about that last exclamation. I dare anyone to fill in the blank where the word "Texas" appears, with any other state, and see if it has the same cadence. How does this sound: "The Eyes of Illinois Are Upon You!" Bla-yuck! WaHoo! "Long Live Texas!"
