IMO, give it time. I don't expect prices to go up--but going down. China did retaliatory tariffs at 34%--thus far. If Spankee raises tariffs, so will China. Canada already matched US tariffs--and lots of jobs "paused" for now. When return? Good question. Depends on the stupidity of Spankee (infinitely deep) BUT he *knows* he will get his butt kicked if the economy gets very bad. It will be the Second Spankee Great Recession/Depression to all of the GOP and their supporters (who will lose their jobs, and more). No benefits? They are the ones meant to NOT get benefits (they cost $$$!!!) and the billionaires won't pay because it doesn't matter to them. Their money = they decide.

To Spankee supporters:

You are being "trickled on" by the billionaires.
You pay billions, they collect it. The billionaires do not pay taxes on that money.
IRS stripped of the people needed to do proper audits of complex returns.
Is that yellow pool of water (?) you are standing in deep enough YET?
