Reader David H. writes regarding President Kennedy's visit to McKeesport:
Thank you for putting the article and links online. In light of all that has happened in the past 52 years, it's good to know how things once were.
Then, our labor and industrial production might were valued by Washington politicos. This week, President Obama came to Pittsburgh and totally ignored the issue of steel tube dumping by foreign manufacturers.
Even if one chooses to do nothing, it is still a choice.
And when the issue is enforcing laws designed to protect American taxpaying companies and workers from predatory pricing strategies and foreign government subsidized products our so-called "leaders" have proven to be clueless, gutless wonders.
The article proves that the more things change, the more they stay the same. The history proves that when all is said and done, more will be said than done.
Western Pennsylvania has been on the short end of the government stick since the Whiskey Rebellion.
