Americans are presently paying 90% of the tariffs put up by Trump. That is an additional $1,000 per year, per household

How is this a secret to be unveiled?

What do you mean by "secret to be unveiled"? There is no secret here! Trump is doing this

What?? You can't make the connection?

No, I can't. Explain what tariffs have to do with American Obesity?

Americans are presently paying 90% of the tariffs put up by Trump. That is an additional $1,000 per year per household​

New Fed report on Trump’s tariffs confirms what most economists warned about​

This has been proved by a recent research by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. "Nearly 90% of the economic burden is borne by American businesses and consumers

Research from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation indicates that tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, including those on China, the EU, Mexico, and Canada, cost the average U.S. household approximately $1,000 in 2025. This amount is projected to rise to $1,300 per household in 2026 if existing tariffs remain in place, with the costs primarily passed on to American consumers and businesses rather than foreign exporters.

and Trump announced this week that more tariffs are coming

If the tariffs reduce our dependance on china, which is our #1 enemy in the world, then its worth the cost

That dagger aimed at our heart must be removed

If you think businesses don't add the cost of corporate taxes to the price of their goods and services you are a idiot. Corporate taxes are a thinly veiled Federal sales tax that the consumer pays.

You can't ***** about tariffs and support corporate taxes without looking like a hypocritical idiot.

I did not say that at all!

What I stated is that corporate taxes are used to help American lives to maintain good living standards. Are tariffs doing that? Do tariffs make corporate taxes go down? Do tariffs pay for infrastructure costs?

It is the nature of tariffs that they will be added to the actual price. So this cannot be a secret.
However, if this helps relocating industries back to the US, it should be considered a good thing.

And remember this:

Thread 'Biden is trumping around with tariffs'

May 16, 2024

I can remember the negative reactions of the media when Trump started his America first policy. Now, while Biden continues this policy the hateful media is silent.
However, the PC Gamer is angry about the new tariffs on semiconductor products from China. They will double to 50%. While the article is probably right about the increasing costs for the US costumer, it didn´t mention that the tariffs might help to create American jobs.

"The big ticket items like Intel, AMD and Nvidia chips won't be affected, but a motherboard from a PC, laptop or phone includes dozens of other controllers and...

Dependence on China is due to the reduced costs of products. Take that away, and everything becomes automatically more expensive, meaning that stuff Americans use and need every day would no longer be cost-effective and that means that many Americans would suffer the lack of that stuff.

 

[DGS49]

"Presently" does not mean "now"; it means, in the near future. Look it up.

The key point of tariffs is that the consumer HAS THE ABILITY to decline to pay them if s/he doesn't want to. Also, most Chinese suppliers have chosen to "eat" the tariffs and maintain prior pricing, or close to it.

And the 90% is total, made-up bullshit.

 

[petro]

A decrease in consumer of cheap consumer items, I think would actually be a GOOD THING for Americans.

And for the environment also.
China just helps fill our landfills with cheap plastic crap.

Every couple of months, my wife and kid load up the car with excess shit, that is filling up our house, and run it down to good will.

There is no need for most of this crap.

In some ways the wide open free market is a good thing

But not when privately owned American companies are competing head to head with the the chinese government

China takes over the market and we have no choice except to obey their dictates

Funny, I never saw you post concern about what the Biden policies were costing American households...Here's an article, by a lefty approved outlet in 2023....

Biden's regulations have cost Americans almost $10,000 per household - and could spike to $60,000 if he is elected in 2024​

• Analysis found Biden regulations cost Americans $10,000 per household since 2021 – with one-third of the cost coming from new fuel and emission standards
• Total per household could equal $60,000 by 2028 if Biden wins a second term
• President unveiled on Wednesday his new 'Bidenomics' plan to focus on middle-class prosperity as 52% of Americans say they are worse off since he took office

Biden's regulations have cost Americans almost $10,000 per household

President Biden's slew of regulations implemented over the course of his two-and-a-half years have cost every American household nearly $10,000 - and could cost $60,000 by 2028 if he wins reelection.

And you're crying about a thousand dollars?

Trump has set this country up for the largest boom since Reagan...And according to people looking at tariffs are having to concede that tariffs are NOT causing the devastation you are trying to lie about here....

Why Widespread Tariffs Haven't Caused Runaway Inflation (Yet)

So, I conclude that your OP, and fear mongering are full of shit.

 

[Slyhunter]

It was clear from the very first day that Trump has no grasp of either domestic or global macroeconomics. When he levied a tariff against an island inhabited primarily by PENGUINS, it was clear that this was going to be ugly.

Then he started adding tariffs when someone hurt his feelings, and the cat was out of the bag. The entire world learned what he is, and their eyes opened. Add to this his constant flip-flopping in foreign relations, replete with mockery, trolling, insulting, namecalling, threats and intimidation, and the world has had enough of us.

His enablers are responsible for this. From the craven sycophants nearest him, to congressional Republicans, to the aggressively ignorant useful idiot everyday Trumpsters in the street.

You're just bitchin' because it's working.

 

[Slyhunter]

It's clear some "Americans" would rather have the rest of the world continue to gouge the USA/citizens with their tariffs on our exports to them, and not have a level playing field reciprocating tariffs on what the world wants the USA to be paying for their stuff.

Leads one to wonder who's side some of these so-called concerned "Americans" are on.

Those who want one world government.

 

[TheGreatSatan]

Of course, we can’t buy American anymore because we got so used to cheap imported goods that American made can’t compete, and it’s now more expensive to buy something made here, than it is to have it imported from another country.

^^^ This is a good argument for slave labor

 

[ThisIsMe]

Then, of course, it's all a LIE.

American consumers are paying an additional tax, the trump tariffs.
And apparently ThisIsMe believes this is somehow winning.

We have no proof that "your tax returned doubled."

And if this is true ^^^^^^ where is this money coming from?

Trump is just shifting money while claiming greatness, and you clowns swallow it up, when in FACT we aren't paying down the National Debt and Prices are up because of tariffs.

The National Debt is increasing at a unprecedented rate, AND you are paying more because of tariffs.

So much winning........ I think NOT.

Don’t know what to say, my tax return literally doubled this year, it did for many people.

I don’t necessarily agree with the tariffs, but then I’m not an economist so I don’t really see the deeper picture.

So, do you think we should have zero tariffs?

That is all true but tell that to poor and middle-class families that are struggling to pay for things they need.

I recently bought from TEMU, a machine for my feet (exercise, warm, and stimulate them) because of the painful Neuropathy pangs that my diabetes has brought about and it cost me $27.99. The same exact American-made machine goes for over $100. Why would I buy the expensive one if I get the same results with the cheap Chinese-made one?

You think I am going to pay more to American companies (and take it out of my pocket) just because they are American? No way!

Do you really need that machine?

Or did you just convince yourself it was essential?

If it really helps that much you should be willing to pay a little more for the long-term health of our economy

And to avoid the deaths of young American men in a future war with china

Yes, I really need the machine.

If I started helping the U.S. economy, I would be hurting myself and given that MOST people are worried more about themselves, if I started helping the economy, I would be among the few that are doing it. Why would I want to be among the few? Trying to accomplish a goal but failing to make a meaningful dent is stupid.

By the way, which of these products do you use?

Smart phone
Computer
Shoes
Clothing
Coffee
Furniture
Lighting

because this is a fact:

Everyday items heavily reliant on imports for U.S. consumers include electronics (smartphones, computers), apparel and footwear, automobiles, and various food products like coffee, cocoa, and specialized produce. Over 90% of apparel and shoes are imported, while significant portions of home goods like furniture and lighting come from overseas.

If you are using any of these, you are not buying purely American

All of those products used to be made in the US
