On tariffs

A little self own by the GOP. Fact checking yourself to remind people that WE will be paying for these tariffs and not whoever made and sold them is enlightening. 

So $100 billion divided by 300 million people means, on average, we will be spending $333 more a year. It may not seem like a lot, but it disproportionately skews down to lower income people, where the income is smaller and it takes a larger bite out of what you have already budgeted. 

And then T-rump saying he doesn't care if WE have to pay more for a car? That's crazy. An already expensive $50,000 automobile will now cost $62,500. That made what was unaffordable now unattainable. But I'm sure some company will be happy to write you a loan for that amount for a ridiculous amount of interest.
