These lousy bastards show no proof no nothing! Just their numbers and their word! Deanrd could have wrote this garbage or any one of the fake news purveyors here.

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trumpās trade wars have already wiped out all but $100 of the average American householdās windfall from Trumpās 2017 tax law. And thatās just the beginning.
That last $100 in tax-cut gains also could soon disappear -- and then some -- because of additional tariffs Trump has announced or is considering. If the president makes good on his threats to impose levies on virtually all imports from China and Mexico, those middle-earning households could pay nearly $4,000 more as they shell out more for a vast range of goods -- from avocados to iPhones.
Subtract the tax cut, and the average household will effectively be paying about $3,000 more a year in additional costs.
āItās giving with one hand and taking with the other,ā said Kim Clausing, an economics professor at Reed College in Portland, Oregon, whoās written a book promoting free trade.
Hereās how the math works: middle earners got an average tax cut of $930 for the tax overhaul passed in late 2017, according to the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center. The tariffs already in effect cost the average household about $831, according to research from the New York Federal Reserve.
China Goods
Add in the additional tariffs on another $300 billion in Chinese goods that Trump proposed in May, and is still considering, and that increases the cost for an average family of four to about $2,294 annually, according to research from āTariffs Hurt the Heartland,ā a coalition of business groups.
Trumpās Tariffs Have Already Wiped Out Tax Bill Savings for Average Americans
