This answer - from one of the president’s key economic advisors - is disgraceful.
And, fwiw, the number for tariff pass through is closer to 94-96 percent
And, fwiw, the number for tariff pass through is closer to 94-96 percent
Hassett on new study from NY Fed showing 90% of tariff burden is being shouldered by US firms & consumers: "The paper is an embarrassment. It's I think the worst paper I've ever seen in the history of the Fed system. The people associated with this paper should presumably be disciplined."

Bloomberg says we've spent $3B on Trump's invasion of Venezuela.
Which is 6X more than the cancer, Alzheimer, diabetes, and heart disease cures they've cut to pay for it.

I realize media doesn’t think it’s a big deal that Trump, Vance & Hegseth continue to give partisan political speeches to troops, evidenced by the fact that they are never asked about it nor are members of Congress, but it is one of the most dangerous things happening right now.

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries.
It does this by stripping food away from children, the disabled, and the working poor.

Tariffs are forcing the taxpayers to pick up the tab for tax breaks given to the wealthy and to prop up Trump’s uncontrollable spending sprees, not appropriated by Congress.
Tariffs are a significant TAX wrapped up in consumer goods.
It’s just not that difficult to understand.
