A close examination of prices of tariffed goods show that tariffs are being absorbed by importers and middlemen rather than being passed on to consumers.

I've been told this could never, ever happen and only consumers will be crushed by tariffs. Weird.

Importers and middlemen are the point of subsidy and they also believe they can wait Uncle Sam out. Every company in China is partners with the Government so subsidy is just a matter of moving money from one account to another.

The Free Traitors™ use hyperbolic speech to scare everyone. Like “crush” “devastate” etc. Is buying a toaster oven Made in the USA for $40.00 instead of $38.50 really devastating???
