The latest Fed survey shows how companies are responding to higher tariffs, and the top response is that companies are passing cost increases through to consumers.

Great comments to this post. Wake up America. Though many have and are resisting. The cult can’t be swayed. I fear the rest aren’t paying attention and are in for an especially hard awakening when their comfortable lifestyle is about to be rocked to make the rich richer.

This is the only thing that should matter. All Americans should require this bare minimum from all our electeds and especially from POTUS. Not to mention, he should be able to explain what the Dec of Ind states.
A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

As a rule, the degree of cruelty and suffering inflicted by Trump is inversely proportional to the ability of the victims to defend themselves. The most vulnerable are the most targeted.
Teachers will be laid off. Class sizes will grow. And students with the fewest resources and greatest needs will pay the highest price.
