He keeps saying "China pays the tariff". They don't. You do. This calculator shows you the actual sum, by product category, using Yale Budget Lab's 2026 effective rate. Spoiler: the bloke pocketing the extra is not in Beijing.
Plug in a product, get the price hike. Tariff rates from Yale Budget Lab's 2026 effective rate by category. Tariffs are taxes on imports paid by the importer, then passed to you. Steve still won't accept this. Steve is wrong.
No they don't. The tariff is paid by the U.S. company importing the good. They add it to the price tag. You pay it at the till. Every credible economist agrees. The Yale Budget Lab estimates the 2026 effective tariff regime costs the average U.S. household $2,300+ per year. That's the receipts. Not a vibe. Not a Trump tweet. The actual sum.
