        For most things. I’m sure there’ll be carve-outs for his bribers. We’ll have to wait for details.

    Yay, he raised taxes on the stuff we buy by 55%. Surely that will make prices go down.

    Sure is great he solved Biden’s non-existent inflation by raising prices on everything by 55%. Making America Expensive Again.
