Makes sense when the tariffs will cost the average household $2,031 per year. Less to spend on cheap products or imports from China but also less for everything

- Fjolsvith 7y agoYour article cited was written in September and doesn't take into account the latest trade agreement developments with China. It is unlikely that the household cost will be anywhere near that value.
- charwalker 7y agoIt's 3 months old but the ballpark figure has been repeated since this time last year based on economic data available at the time. I've seen this in costs increasing above inflation for many items especially cheap stocking stuffers this holiday season. We went with a smaller Christmas this year to compensate.
