The findings suggest U.S. consumers will continue to struggle with high prices — something Trump had promised to address in the run-up to his re-election.
Six months into Donald Trump’s unprecedented gambit to impose sizable tariffs on imports, U.S. consumers are already shouldering as much as 55% of their costs, according to a new report from Goldman Sachs analysts.
And with new tariffs likely on the way, the cost burden could rise even higher, they said.
The findings, released Sunday, suggest U.S. consumers will continue to struggle with high prices — something Trump had promised to address in the run-up to his re-election. While inflation rates have come down from the post-Covid peak, they have remained stuck above levels economists consider healthy, causing consumers and businesses alike to continue to report feeling burdened by price increases.
I’m so broke rn that I’m rehoming most of my ducks. I’m only keeping 3 of the 8 that I have. I’ll save like $60/month on feed with a smaller flock. That money won’t go towards my savings, but to my mortgage payment which will go up by $40 starting in December.
Shit even your mortgages have import tariffs
Yep.
Fr tho, I think the issue is that my town is changing a lot of stuff and I think zoning is changing which is making property taxes go up. I’m pissed to say the least

Needlessly antagonistic, baiting real people into arguments, weaponizing class war talking points.
You’re the whole problem.

Very on topic and coherent response.
I didn’t though. My house is absolutely tiny and was very cheap because of that. I don’t need a big house. Up until a couple months ago, I’ve been able to afford it and everything else without issue. I’ve cut out almost all luxuries from my life and get groceries at the fuckin dollar store now.
You really shouldn’t assume shit about people. Acting like a dickhead online, unprovoked, isn’t a good look either.
You’ll catch way more flies with honey, dear.
