Cummins fined $1.675 Billion for gaming their diesel emissions.

The domestic steel producers screwed up. When there was a 25% increase on imports, they could have kept their prices stable and increased domestic market share and manufacturing. Instead they went for the quick buck and also raised prices. The outcome was higher prices, but no more US steel production.

I dont think there is that much excess capacity in the industry and mill take years to build. So unless the tariffs are guaranteed for 5 to 10 years, it hard to build off short term gain

Comapnies like nucor, big river steel and SDI are building mills currently. Multiple. BIG ones

Also, instead of putting profits back into the factories they choose to do stock buy-backs. Big business is more about profits for investors instead of a strong america. Small business is the true backbone of america. Maybe some people ignore them because they don't donate to campaigns?

Why do you make such derogatory statements as this? That is such a rude and childish comment. I explained a better way to promote US manufacturing than creating inflation throughout our economy. And the tariffs didn’t even work to increase US steel production. Fact.

Some people resort to trolling when they know they are wrong.

Except they didnt invest back into the steel mills. Big River Built BRS 2.0. SDI built sinton and the aluminum plant is being built. Nucor did 2 mills from the ground up, 1 is under construction

us steel bought out Big River

Lots of stuff happend with the money

I asked the question that you seem to be stating….

Don’t hate the questioner. Hate the person posing the statement.

Of course I don’t hate our country. I have served it for 33 years when I could have made a larger salary working for private industry. That question is out of bounds and means that you have no legitimate argument. It is not a solid fact that tariffs will create a revitalized US industry and lots of economists have differing opinions. There are other ways to promote US industry and the example I gave is reasonable and should by tried first, instead of creating inflation in the U.S. economy. And I’m not going down a rabbit hole discussion about inflation, except to point out that tariffs are one of the inflationary causes. I think we’re done with this discussion.

Well I am thankful you finally accepted defeat

Not defeat. You have demonstrated your pettiness to the forum, and I don’t care to roll in the mud with you.

Because someone doesn’t know that you work for someone or something for 35 years is petty……
I don’t think so!

Why it is out of bound? Who effing knows? my only guess is that anybody that doesn’t agree with you is out of bounds!

Just because you don’t agree with me, doesn’t mean it’s not a legitimate question.

Just because you don’t think tariffs are legitimate doesn’t mean very highly educated people agree, or disagree with you

What you think is reasonable and what other people think is reasonable may be two different things, but of course it’s only reasonable when YOU think it’s reasonable

Saying that someone hates our country is completely out of bounds.

Maybe you are right there but nobody said that you hate it. Somebody did ask you if you hated it.
