They forget to tell the entire story. This economics professor lays it out.

If it costs me 3-6k but saves our home 30-60k then I’m fine with the trade off.

Who cares, what the last 4 yrs cost me was well over $3,000/yr. And I make 2x’s the money I did in 2020.

$30,000. You forgot a zero. You clearly didn’t follow what he said.

The increase the last 4 years has cost me an additional 36-40k dollars.

I'd like to have the extra 800-1000 a month I'm spending back.

How much are we spending for all of the illegal immigrants that have poured into this country? Housing, food, cell phones, cell phone bills, spending money.. that all costs money that the immigrants do not have.

$110,000 per illegal immigrant.

The cuts that are about to be made to spending in DC are going to be brutal. MSM will put some poor black lady that worked at the Department of Commerce on and try to turn Americans against it.

Well if tariffs take the place of income taxes, we'd still come out wayyyy ahead

not gonna save you 30-60k a year. go look at 2017-2019 Soybean tarriffs, what happened to the market, and then the USDA program to then compensate farmers for lost income.

Trump uses tariffs as a negotiation tactic.

Let us sell our stuff in your country or we will put tariffs on your stuff.

That is all this bluster about tariffs is.

He needs to show his work. Sounds good but there has to be a gotcha in there.

I loved listening to Trump on Rogan talk about Tariffs under President McKinley before we had income taxes.

Trump said tariffs is the most wonderful word in the dictionary. He can use them to get the rest of the world play by our rules and talked about replacing income taxes with it. In our household we pay well over $50k a year to the government in income taxes lowballing it. Replacing that with tariff expenses is amazing. Libs of course hate it because they don’t work. Too bad lazy fricks get a job in Trumps booming economy

ETA even made a reference to Woodrow Wilson selling out our country to the federal reserve which I love to refer to as the moment this country went downhill. Get Ron Paul in there to end the Fed next!

The median income is $80,000. You aren't paying that much in federal income taxes with those earnings to recoup 15k let alone any more than that.

Trump didn't get us $35T into debt. They've had decades to reverse it, instead they bloated government and it grew exponentially. It's gonna hurt. And everybody is going to feel it. It's either do it now, or keep going with the status quo and keep kicking the can down the road.

He’s obviously referencing the 3k that will cost people due to tariffs
