(17,742 posts)30% on goods and parts will still cause a large price hike accross the board.
Inflation will still rise.
Ports will still not back in full swing. Even amazon sales will still stumble.
Recession, and even depression, are still developing.
Ignore the stock market. It isnt real any longer, meanong it no longer reflects corporate performance. As long as trillions of dollars are in retirement plans and investment funds, risk wont be followed by lower prices.

In addition to deminimus being gone, minimum per item tarris of $25 per item were slammed on.

(249 posts)They will actually think this is a huge victory. When prices still go way up because of the 30% tariffs--which are actually higher since that 30% is only the newly added tariffs on top of what was already implemented; so more like 50%--they will be primed to believe it is China's fault; or the Dems fault; not The Wizard of Ooze... Democrats have got to learn how to message so much better than they have ever managed to do before to combat this nonsense.
