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.

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.

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

I like to support local, but bought gifts online, convenience, selection, prices, free shipping, and most importantly the access to reviews that tell the real story about the product! I rely heavily on reviews.

Never family. Parents usually hosted; but I have hosted friends once I moved away and was no longer close by to enjoy a family-hosted gathering. I did host cpl friends this Xmas day with fondue.
