And you are the first poster in my 20 years who has been obsessed with me. Thanks.

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., introduced legislation on Monday that would send rebate checks to working Americans from the proceeds generated by tariffs, following through on a promise he made last week

Small business owner here & I’ve gotten fricked ag EVERY SINGLE TURN & I could care less about some “stimulus $5,000 bullcrap”
PRO-RATA REFUNDS for all the USAID, NGO, CLIMATE HOAX. MEDICAL COSTS (10X rest of world)
Frick all this bullshite “pay the debt”
We don’t owe anyone!
Do Your research on the Federal Reserve before you speak that BS around here.
That dent doesn’t exist in my mind & Trump better do the right thing & ABOLISH IT! Which is t what I’ve heard may happen when they usher in the digital currency, that is not my favorite, but it’s happening.

Ban bet that US taxpayers absorb 100% of tariffs placed on foreign nations? Should be easy to dissect. Let’s pick 20 products and their cost today, if at EOY they are 15% more than they were prior to tariff deal, you win. If they aren’t, I win.
Deal?

Those get passed on to the consumer. The companies are not just eating that cost.

If y'all can't see this is one small method on the fiscal side to sustain our debt levels through inflation, I don't what to say.

The OP claims the checks are to offset inflation. Which is a clear and glaring lie.

Ok. You’re smart and I’m dumb. Educate me on how products are made.
Here is a Range Rover Evoque with a base price of 49,900. With a 15% tariff now in place this car base should jump to $57,385 on 8/1, no questions asked. That’s the crux of his argument, along with every other EU product because the taxpayer is absorbing all tariffs. His blanket statement, not mine.

I'm impressed; the first typical response to one of these is to immediately claim it never happened, the second is an appeal to ridicule.
This time they've just pretended they never saw it at all.

Do you not understand that the 15% tariff applies to the wholesale price, and not the retail price?
And, for the most part, (as of now) tariffs are being eaten upstream, not going downstream.
Don't want to pay a tariff? Buy domestic.

Products are composed of multiple components. Some are being assessed with a tariff. Some are not. Some companies aren’t sure if their products are affected by tariffs or not.
Let’s say I’m buying some extruded aluminum construction material. Let’s say $20,000 is my invoiced price.
Of that price, there’s profit markup. So the cost to buy materials, fabricate and ship the product are less than the invoiced price. We’ll use round numbers - $15,000 for a mythical profit of $5,000. Let’s say shipping comprised $2,000. Let’s say fabrication was $4,000. And let’s say that the aluminum was $8000.
The tariff isn’t assessed on the labor, shipping or non-tariffed parts. It’s only on the aluminum. So, there was a 15% markup on $8,000. That would be $1200.
So, if the seller passed through the tariffs like they are a tax (they are), then the cost increase on the $20,000 would be $1200.
Let me know what questions you have.

Oh NO! Someone in the market for a high-end luxury SUV might have to pay more for a European import, or GASP! consider buying American!?!??!
Enough sarcasm. Of course we risk seeing the price of IMPORTED products trend up. That's kind of the idea. American companies should be able to compete on a level playing field, and if we can manage to grow the American manufacturing sector - everyone wins. More jobs, lower prices, higher wages. frick Range Rover.

Sure. Which is why my initial post said let’s find a handful of products from EU across the spectrum, take their price today, and Aug 1 when tariff kicks in let’s see what product now costs here.
Certainly we can find some products across several industries to see if based on everything involved to deduct whether 100% of the price was passed along to consumers

Before income tax was codified into law, our nation subsided on tariffs. If we are collecting enough tariff money, with cutting waste, then why are 50% of the population not paying ANY income tax while the other 50% carries the load?
The whole DOGE thing should have opened a lot of eyes to where a lot your YOUR money was going. Funding fricking transgender programs in 3rd world countries???!!
