Now that Trump has put increased import taxes on things, how soon should we expect prices to rise on everything we buy?

    That will be one side of the problem.

    The other side is that countries whose goods get penalised will respond by putting a tax on goods from the USA, so US exports will decline and jobs will be lost in the USA.

    Protectionism has ALWAYS been shown to have a bad effect.

    So how much is this tax. And when did it start. Congress didnt vote on it yet.

  • Not under Trump. Remember the decreased regulations he has already started removing? Business will be forced to pass the savings along. Workers will earn more. Prices will drop. Shareholders will earn more on investments.

    Trump is going to tax wire transfers into Mexico. No skin off my nose.
