It is being predicted that the cost will be over $800.00 per year per household for the current tariffs, I wonder what that is going to do to all the people that already work multiple jobs and still barely make it. More foreclosures, evictions and homeless.

The barely making it crowd does not consume as much as the average American household, so the impact on that group will be less. Furthermore, the basic necessities such as food, utilities and shelter are almost exclusively produced domestically and are not impacted by tariffs. Unfair trade practices that ultimately cost jobs are a bigger threat to the barely getting by crowd.

Then I guess you don't realize what goes into building "shelter" it all trickles down. Ask a home builder how the tariffs have affected material pricing. And with the high percentage of Americans living paycheck to paycheck the "barely getting by crowd" is bigger than you realize.
