Let's take the pipe dream a step farther. Why sell our ore to someone else and create jobs elsewhere to make steel? If they want steel, sell them steel products made by US workers. For example, we could make many of the components of Toyota's here and export the components instead of the ore. If they want energy, sell them a high-quality products made from our coal by our labor. The same with the lumber we export. Wheat? Maybe not. But even scrap metal.
