Wrong, if the Dems had their way and the BBB didn't pass we would be looking at a 20% tax hike.

Tariffs ARE a "tax hike".

Average Cost Increase: The Budget Lab at Yale estimates that the tariffs enacted in 2025 could result in an average loss of purchasing power of $2,400 per household in the short term, assuming no Federal Reserve reaction and full pass-through of costs to consumers. Other sources cite estimates ranging from $2,100 to $3,800.
Disproportionate Impact on Lower-Income Households: Tariffs tend to act like a regressive tax, meaning they affect lower-income households more significantly as a proportion of their income. For example, the Budget Lab at Yale estimates that the short-run burden on the first income decile (lowest earners) is more than three times that of the top decile, according to The Budget Lab at Yale. Annual costs for these households are projected to be around $1,300, according to the Budget Lab at Yale.

In my personal experience my costs of living are definitely going up everytime I go shopping now. Everything costs just a little bit more.

A nice slow increase like frogs getting slowly boiled . Enjoy your FAFO little froggies.

FAFOs ain't free. Your FAFO is gonna cost you one way or the other.
