Trump: We’re going to take some of the tariff money and give it to our farmers who are going to be hurt for a little while until the tariffs kick in
So...trump's tariffs decimate farmers and he is going to use the proceeds to bail them out, while our GDP shrinks and we lose foreign markets to Argentina, who we are also bailing out. Make America Great, or something, right? |

Given the price of coffee and the dwindling incomes, people can’t afford pricey coffee. |

responding to myself....the income from tariffs belong to the US Treasury, not a Trump slush fund. So if those monies are to be distributed to farmers, then presumably it would take an act of congress. It would have made more sense not to have tariffs and let the farmers sell to markets abroad, but what do I know? |

* TRUMP ADMINISTRATION RESTRICTING COMMERCIAL DRIVER LICENSES FOR NON-U.S. CITIZENS, USDOT SAYS
This will double, or more, transportation costs and the supply of new drivers dries up and trucking companies are forced to raise wages and pass those costs on to consumers. |

Oh here it is. “New economic data released Friday showed that consumer spending rose 0.6% in the key back-to-school shopping month of August, and 0.4% when adjusting for inflation. That’s further indication that a critical driver of the US economy continues to chug along despite broader uncertainty and a slowdown in the labor market. Still, some prices — including those exposed to steep tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump — are rising faster than they have in months, according to Commerce Department data released Friday. The Personal Consumption Expenditures price index — the inflation gauge the Federal Reserve uses for its 2% target rate — rose 0.3% on a monthly basis (versus a 0.2% increase in July), which lifted the annual rate to 2.7% from 2.6%, and hitting a six-month high. Energy and gas prices rose in August, and that was a big driver of the monthly increase; however, food prices shot higher as well. Those were up 0.5%, the highest monthly gain since March, and are now up 2.2% from last year.” https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/26/economy/us-pce-consumer-spending-inflation-august |

Sen. Roger Marshall: "It seems very disingenuous for the Democrats to be blaming President Trump for these rural hospital struggles. The reason rural hospitals are struggling is because of the bad economy."
