From 2016 but bears repeating. Just substitute Hillary Clinton with Kamala Harris.

From what I have Read and heard…
Most of the tariffs monies are in an account and not spent to this point..
I believe our treasury secretary is the one that made that statement?

I was hopeful that that money would be used to help pay off our deficit… or I wouldn’t even have been opposed to using some of that tariff money to fund the war on the terrorist nation that we are currently engaged with..

If you think of it, that would’ve been a great way for those sissies in Europe to help us to defeat terrorism in the Middle East..

Pretty harsh words for Trump. His seemed to be a lesser of two evils rant.

Except I don’t see Trump as an evil, just someone who can’t put a moratorium on his trolling.

You have to remember that the Conservatives in England are about on par with the Democrats here.
His point is that the Dems should be able to beat Trump except they put up lousy candidates.

you should try reading some of what you post.

While these overall retail price effects are not small, they are more modest compared to the overall tariff rate increases we have seen. There are a few reasons why this is the case. One is the general uncertainty regarding the overall tariff regime. With President Trump frequently changing tariff rates in both directions over the course of 2025, along with the possibility that the Supreme Court would strike down the IEEPA tariffs, many firms adopted a “wait-and-see” approach before making changes in their overall pricing strategy. This is consistent with the survey evidence from last year, which generally found that US businesses in the short run were more likely to absorb some of the tariffs.

Another reason for only small price increases over this period is that some firms operate on a contract basis and had already locked in their prices for the year. For example, farm equipment is typically leased on a yearly basis so that these suppliers can smooth out their demand around crop cycles or insulate themselves from bad weather events. Finally, some firms have preexisting inventory from which they were drawing down, as imports were heavily front-loaded early in 2025 prior to the tariffs being imposed.

With the Supreme Court striking down the IEEPA tariffs, we should expect some savings to eventually flow back to consumers over time. A new paper from the same authors shows that when Canada withdrew its retaliatory tariffs on the US last year, their retail prices of affected products fell rapidly in response. However, the effect depends on whether retailers expect future tariffs to be imposed. Given that Trump has indicated he intends to impose new tariffs to replace IEEPA, firms will probably yet again adopt a wait-and-see approach before passing any savings to consumers.
