I'll believe this if/when we see this. DO NOT CAVE DEMOCRATS!

If this is true and happens, it's got to happen before reopening the government or it will be just like Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown and it will be yanked away.

If U think I'm stupid enough to believe US businesses will sustain absorbing tariff costs at 51% long term without: a. lay offs, b. reducing salary or c. increasing costs, then you must be a GO☭ w 4th grade comprehension skills.
Tariffs CANNOT bring jobs back if 51% absorbed by:

Chart of tariffs costs. 51% US business. 37% US consumers 9% foreign exporters 3% potential evasion.

🧪A good perspective.

Mothers from the 1950s, who saw how polio affected children's lives would like a word.

For every $ spent on the MMR vaccine, the healthcare system saves $13. Now, The direct medical costs of a measles case is $1793. This translates to $~1.79B/yr for Americans.

RFK Jr. says vaccines don’t save lives. He’s wrong

Now RFK Jr. is claiming vaccines don’t actually save lives. Here’s the math to show what he gets wrong.
