As I have stated before, a free market always provides a level playing
field. This, of course, is the last thing the U.S. wants... when you're
on the top of the hill the last thing you want is a level playing field.

The U.S. and the rest of the world are going to eventually equalise. This
can only be held off by maximising the price that the U.S. gets for its
raw materials. Which makes it ironic that so much U.S. policy is oriented
around minimising the cost of raw materials...
