"A study this week by Experian said that a 25% tariff on imported cars and parts will raise the price of the 20 best-selling vehicles in the United States an average of $3,300 to $5,100, even though most of those vehicles are assembled at US factories."

In vehicles. Traded in the wife’s 12 year old one for a new model. Retired now so this one will rack up far fewer miles as did the previous one which did 50+ per day commuting.

The Grand Old Russian Party shouldn't have been so cheap with the average people. When you can't see the difference in your own life it's easier to see how the 1% is making out as a result of the tax cut.
