How much do you expect the things you buy to go up in price once the tariffs are in place?

25% on a lot of Chinese stuff.

How will the tariff impact multiply through the economy?

Will it cost you $1000 or $10000 more per year than good per tariff??

How much do you expect US GDP to lurch once foreign tariffs are reduced/removed?

Yes. So again the question is how much do you expect US GDP to lurch once foreign tariffs are reduced/removed?

Are you paid to post about tariffs? It seems to be the only thing you ever discuss.

Hasn’t China and several countries in the EU promised to do so?

Just think of it as a tax on Americans, that should make you feel better about it

Won't cost me much. Most everything I buy, is made in The U.S.


I have made it a point for many years, to buy only U.S. made products, whenever possible.


Of course, this cheap laptop that I am using, is made in China, along with the router.

Their replacements will probably cost me 33% more, so that's 100 bucks.

Maybe a TV in a couple of years? That's another 100 bucks.

Microwave? add another 100 bucks.


tree fiddy actually will be pretty close.

You asked how much the GDP was going to increase once other countries lowered their tariffs and I ask has their been any action on that.

You see your question is based on something that has not happened but the tariffs HAVE happened and prices are going up as a result.

Not quite yet. But there is certainly action in that direction.
