Tariffs can help protect American businesses by encouraging local production and preserving jobs. However, they also raise the cost of imported goods, which forces stores to pass on these expenses to consumers. We might face higher bills, fewer jobs, and slower economic growth.

Retirement income hasn't risen to meet rising prices. How are we supposed to compensate?

What do we really need from Mexico? Definitely less illegal immigrants, and that is being worked on. Their shoddy autos? Make them at plants in the US. And Canada, and their petroleum? That's why its drill, baby drill...which should have been U.S. policy for past 50 years.

We had the Biden tariff for 4 years. Can't get worse than his incompetence.

No effect of the United States

If anything occurs, the effect will be temporary until the markets adjust. Funny KMIZ didn't have similar pols under Biden's double-digit inflation. Where was the media's outrage then? I know, orange man bad.

Mike Pyrtle

We are only in this mess because of former presidents from BOTH parties. Sometimes healing is painful.

With his biases, he should not be using his position to meddle in gov on his own behalf. He's looking after no one but himself.

Max DeYoung

Both of Steve's comments are true and accurate.

Steve Baumann

I totally disagree, he needs nothing and was only working to help the majority. The waste uncovered is excessive, no one can argue that.

Fred

He's an absolute nutcase. And an immigrant from South Africa, who grew up under apartheid, with no security clearance, has any business ransacking our government, accessing private data or having any influence of government departments investigating his businesses.

Steve Baumann

He's also brilliant, accomplished and worked for us, the Americans, for free.

Has anyone triedmore MAGA??? We need more MAGA!

Steve Baumann

While I understand he had limited time, I feel more time would have benefited the country. That being said, I am grateful for the time he gave and the job he did. I look forward to seeing the results in the near future.

Max DeYoung

I hope he trained the people he left behind. He did an amazing job in only 130 days.

He has uncovered so much waste and corruption in the US Government. I only wish congress acted on what he found!

Why should people in Central and eastern Missouri be required to finance something for Kansas City. Totally insane.

Bill Douglas

The rest of the state is paying $200M for all the new stuff being built at UM football stadium in Columbia MO. No care about that???

Max DeYoung

I don't even like Taylor Swift.

Eric Smith

Just more political corruption. They know they can do it and get away with it. They did it with Busch stadium and the additional ballpark village.

Zaos Gonzolez

I want the teams to leave.

Bill Douglas

But let’s keep UM football in Columbia and $200 Million for new luxury suites, that’s worth it, right???!!!

Robert

How is this any different then if I ask for public funding to build on to my house?
