re: US Steel doubles profits with tariff price increases--buys back stock, gives raises

Agree. I'm not saying quit it completely, just take advantage of the cheaper option when it's available. I but milk at Wal-Mart when it's cheaper than Publix. But don't prop up an industry artificially and make everyone else pay for it.
If you really want to get some baws from down the bayou worked up, start talking about the sugar industry. Domestic sugar would be dead without protective tariffs.

And they are using them to buy back stock.

Perfectly good business decisions BUT does nothing to address the issues most tariff supporters here seem to think the tariffs are accomplishing.

For once, I will agree with you on the tariff issue in this industry. US Steel companies did take advantage of the situation and should be looked at for price gouging/profiteering.
