What will tariffs cost the average American family?
By Jack Hellner
The media is widely reporting that a study by some Yale group is saying that the average American family will pay an additional $4,700 per year because of Trump’s policy on tariffs. As usual, the media and other Democrats just repeat this number with no questions asked, so we should all remember other misleading garbage that the media and other Democrats have intentionally misled the public about including:
Russian collusion, and Trump being a Russian stooge
The Hunter laptop being Russian disinformation
The Wuhan lab as a source for COVID being a disproven conspiracy
The border being secure under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
Inflation is transitional, inflation was caused by COVID, and inflation was caused by Russia
The economy was great under Biden
Biden was sharp as a tack
Climate change, caused by humans and our use of natural resources, is the greatest existential threat
So when I read anything from these people, I am extremely skeptical.
I love numbers and statistics, so when I read that Trump’s tariffs would cost an average American family $4,700, I would like to see how they got that number—which I can’t seem to find in the report or the articles about the report. Supposed journalists just repeat the number.
