A February 2026 report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York confirmed that U.S. consumers and companies paid nearly 90% of the cost of 2025 tariffs, rather than foreign nations. This "full pass-through" means importers passed almost all tariff costs on to consumers, equating to a roughly $1,000 yearly tax increase per average household.
Fed research indicated that by early 2026, tariffs accounted for the entire excess inflation in the core goods sector, with economists suggesting inflation would have dropped to pre-pandemic levels without them.
Yeah, I am a **** rube, I voted for it. Maybe Harris would have been a better choice, maybe not.
@MR-7 claims consumers don't pay the tariff, obviously he knows more than the Federal Reserve. He thinks he is smart, he bought his FDBHW a Hyundai.
Trust me, it is not going to save his marriage.
