Yes, corporations are known for one time bumps. They do them only one time. Not over and over again. And they definitely bring those prices back down later.... even if tariffs weren't awful, corpos are gonna use them as an excuse to raise prices every chance they get

This is as close as possible Bessent can get to saying tariffs get passed on to the consumer without hurting dear leaders feelings. For a president, Trump sure needs a lot of coddling.

If by “one time” he means, each single time you go to check out at the store.

Permanent bump So if it’s more expensive we buy less—can anyone say “recession”?

And it will be baked in to the new prices so it’s hidden and even if costs go down for the stores and manufacturers , the prices we pay will never go back down
