The findings suggest U.S. consumers will continue to struggle with high prices — something Trump had promised to address in the run-up to his re-election.
Six months into Donald Trump’s unprecedented gambit to impose sizable tariffs on imports, U.S. consumers are already shouldering as much as 55% of their costs, according to a new report from Goldman Sachs analysts.

The findings, released Sunday, suggest U.S. consumers will continue to struggle with high prices — something Trump had promised to address in the run-up to his re-election.

The lowest income area of my county, but ok. I should just go live in the woods and live off of berries and acorns
Or you could go to a different county.
If you genuinely think it’s either the house you live in or out in the woods, then you shouldn’t be taken seriously on anything financial.
Bro I’m fuckin joking about the woods lmao
Ok? Then what’s your point?
That you’re being silly.
