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.

Only if Social Security is given a good raise, because raising the minimum wage to $20.00 per hour would cause inflation big time. Then, people on Social Security wouldn’t be able to live on what little SS pays them.

It's leading to communism. Where everyone is equal and equally poor. If I was making $21 per hour and the minimum wage was raised to $20 I would not get a raise and in fact I would take a cut due to inflation of raising minimum wage. Minimum wage was never about a "living" wage it was about getting
