These sanctions will cost the US $4 billion a year.
A laughable drop in the bucket to the economic arm of the Bush administration, the most extraordinary fiscal management team in US history. Mostly because it doesn't hurt their self-serving programs at all.
As to the various forms of subsidies and protections afforded to US companies as kickbacks (doing nothing to make them globally competitive), it is important to see that sanctions are enforced when requests for compliance are not met, isn't it?
