To our senators on tariffs and the economy

Mr Trump continues to run roughshod over the economy. His tariffs and related uncertainty about his policies are having a damaging effect on everyday Americans.  And tariffs on uninhabited islands show what utter nonsense this all is. 

Prices for nearly everything are on the rise. It would appear as though we are headed quickly toward a recession. Consumer confidence is at a low point. And the stock market is tumbling in a way we haven't seen in our lifetime. 

There is no reasons for this to be happening. The economy was in a good place, and there was no need for tariffs like these. Especially only a few months after he took office. 

It's your job to represent Floridians, and really all Americans, in ensuring that he doesn't destroy the economy. 

He himself said years ago that any president who oversees a Dow drop of *a lesser magnitude* should be impeached. That's his own standard, and yet you aren't even willing to have a meaningful moment of standing up to him for his actions. Or even of taking back control over tariffs. 

Seniors in our state are struggling. Workers are seeing their retirement saving investments being wiped out. And it's expensive to put food on the table. 

I can only imagine the uproar you would be in if, say, Kamala had won and was doing something like this. 

Don't put politics ahead of everything else and let our country be financially ruined and perhaps scarred forever.
