All the good job reports under ByeDumb were fake...didn’t I tell you so?

I’ve shared actual data with you on price levels for specific products, including chicken, beef, eggs, and produce. I’ve pointed out that tariffs are only imposed on imported goods, and that only 13% to 15% of all goods sold in the US are imported. You can disregard the data if you choose.

She did exactly that because it was an inconvenient truth that disproved everything she believes in and has been told.
 
No. I highlighted a summary of 2024 prices for the product, and the current price at Walmart which is substantially less than what you’re paying.
but you agree that the price has increased since trump took over so you finally got something right. 👍
 
Nobody said that. You don’t seem to understand that…

A. Tariffs are a tax on imported goods (which comprise about 14% of US GDP)
B. Business taxes are either absorbed by businesses, or passed on to consumers, or a combination of both.

That’s exactly what I said. TrumpTariffs are paid by American businesses and consumers. The largest tax increase since the 1960s.

Why do you keep repeating my points and pretending they contradict me? 😆

According to the AI query response I shared, Ken’s Marinade sold products sold for between $4 and $5 per bottle in 2024. They have an extensive range of marinades and dressings. Today, September 10th, 2025, many of their products are actually priced substantially below the low end of the 2024 range. Imagine that! Prices have fallen on many of their products. Per the screenshot you shared, the specific Ken’s product you purchased is priced at $4.99. That is in the 2024 price range.

You also noted that Ken’s produces its products in the US. Domestic products are not subject to tariffs. Therefore, whatever price you pay for their products cannot be attributed to tariffs.

Anyway, good effort. Keep trying to find an example that actually supports your argument. Cheers.

i did not, liar.

you are never allowed to talk economics ever again. not being to comprehend basic things like how supply chains work, labor, transportation costs immediately disqualifies you.
 
Ken’s products are manufactured in the US. Specifically Marlborough, MA; McDonough, GA, Las Vegas, NV, and Lebanon, IN. 🇺🇸

Enjoy your American-made dressing. Don’t worry if there are a few spices that come from overseas. The major costs of production - factories, labor, packaging, distribution, marketing & sales, finance and administration - are untouched by tariffs. There isn’t one iota of evidence that tariffs have impacted the price you’re paying.

you have a funny way of admitting that you're wrong.

I’ve said from day one that tariffs are a tax. No one can predict with any degree of certainty how large of a tax hike it will ultimately be because it’s a fluid situation, but it’s large. The US Treasury has reportedly collected over $100 billion in tariffs between April and July. The JP Morgan report you’re referring to projects $700 billion in new taxes. There’s another report from the Tax Foundation that says it could be more $2 trillion over the next ten years.

Offsetting that are the tax cuts in the OBBB which extend the 2017 Trump tax cuts on individuals. The CBO estimates it will amount to $4.5 trillion in lower tax receipts over ten years. That bill came on top of the 2017 Trump tax cuts that cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, with other business tax cuts in the form of accelerated depreciation and expensing of certain assets. Add to that the projected impact of deregulation on corporation’s bottom lines.

In short, the tariffs are shrinking the impact of the Trump tax cuts on individuals and businesses, but those cuts are still substantial.
