My 325gal home propane tank started to leak last week. All the suppliers had in stock for a replacement were 500 and 1000gals. I needed a new tank right then. All three companies I called said 8 months ago the price of a 500 gal US made tanks jumped from $1400 to $2000 overnight. I didn't have a choice, I had to buy it. The tariff cost ME $600.

Someones lying to you. Tariffs aren't 43%. Someone took advantage of your misfortune big time.

Nobody is lying to me. The US steel industry took advantage of the tariffs and jacked up their prices and it trickled down from there. That's the only time "Trickle Down" works
