Washington, D.C. — Today, Unrig Our Economy is launching a brand new webpage entitled “The Cost of Tariffs” to mark President Trump’s 100th day in office. You don’t have to be an economist to know that the economy is on the verge of collapse – you just need to head to your local grocery store, clothing store, or car dealership or to UnrigOurEconomy.com. Unrig Our Economy’s new webpage tracks how Trump’s reckless tariffs are raising costs for working families and calls out Republicans in Congress for enabling these cost-raising tariffs while doubling down on their plan to give massive tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires. The site also highlights the stories of real people who are directly impacted by these tariffs and feeling the squeeze.
“If you aren’t a giant corporation raking in record profits or a billionaire buying their next yacht, you know firsthand the impacts of the Trump and Republican economy. After just 100 days of this chaotic Republican-led government, American consumers, small businesses, and working families are already paying a big price,” said Unrig Our Economy Spokesperson Kobie Christian. “It’s time for Congress to listen to the people they represent and take action to end these tariffs instead of prioritizing more tax breaks for their billionaire donors.”
Key Features of the Webpage Include:
- Clear explanations of what tariffs are and why they matter.
- Real-life examples from Americans affected by cost-raising tariffs.
- Breakdowns of tariff rates on key items and how they impact your wallet.
- Easy-to-read charts to help visitors quickly grasp the real-world consequences of tariffs.
