No matter what Trump says during tonight's debate, tariffs aren't paid by the other country.
They're paid by you.
His tariff plan would be a regressive tax — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people, costing a typical family an extra $3,900 per year.
@rbreich So the thing about other countries paying for American's childcare via tariffs ... That's not true either?

@dee_le_brun @rbreich There is an easy formula you can use: if Дональд Трамп said it, yeah, not true. Could be about a one-in-ten-thousand chance of one percent truthiness to it, but start with the assumption it is pure nonsense.
@yoused @rbreich I was being sarcastic...
