 The workers in Pennsylvania don't have the luxury to rely on slogans to
get them by.

No one really does any more, that ruse is finally expiring.

All they care about is jobs, jobs, jobs, and an income to
build up their family. The rich outsiders are free to say that they
oppose the deal. That's fine - it's a free country. If they want to do
something beyond lip service, they need to put up the money to upgrade
American steel manufacturing.

100% agreed!

What America gets out of the deal is cash to modernize the factory, an
expertise in producing better products, and jobs, jobs, jobs. The
government will also get its cut from taxes on the workers and the
company. Having Americans working is always a gain for America.

Not when our steel industry degrades from production to mere recycling - which is where it stands today:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_and_steel_industry_in_the_United_States
Most iron and steel in the United States is now made from iron and steel scrap, rather than iron ore. The United States is also a major importer of iron and steel, as well as iron and steel products.
Steel mills in the U.S. fall into two categories: traditional integrated mills that process iron ore into steel and mini-mills that melt steel scrap to produce new steel. Mini-mills now dominate U.S. steel production.
Following the 2024 U.S. presidential election, the U.S. steel industry actively advocated for stronger trade protections, including reimposing tariffs on steel imports from the United Kingdom, European Union, and Japan to address trade-distorting practices. The industry argued that steel tariffs imposed in 2018 boosted steel prices, profits, and employment. They have also publicly called for stricter enforcement of trade laws and increased tariffs on steel-intensive products from China and Southeast Asia.
