Who Is Paying for the 2025 U.S. Tariffs? - Liberty Street Economics
Over the course of 2025, the average tariff rate on U.S. imports increased from 2.6 to 13 percent. In this blog post, we ask how much of the tariffs were paid by the U.S., using import data through November 2025. We find that nearly 90 percent of the tariffs’ economic burden fell on U.S. firms...

I am of the mind when someone tells you their plans, you should listen. DSA and Mamdani have made claims that align with this. At some point, NYC voters will realize the scam that is hardcore “democratic” socialism and hopefully reject it. Have you seen the statements from his housing czar, Cea Weaver?Right there is some fantastic tinfoil hat fodder. 'Wonder what 17rem would think.

Yep. Report after report says tariffs are passed onto US consumers and higher prices are the result.
There are a boatload of bad news messagers Hassett wants us to ignore!

Yes it’s 2.4% but strong reduction from fuel costs going down. Remove that item from the bucket of goods and inflation is over 3%.

Why would you remove that item? We use it everyday, almost all of us. Serious question.

These idiots over at yale have all these words and graphs... ugh.So, nobody can post a small list of consumer products that were increased because of tariffs. Got it.
and if you want to get specific, you can read what these dickholes from Duke have to say about wine tariffs.
Study Reveals U.S. Consumers Paid More Than the Tariff Cost on European Wines
A new study by faculty from Duke’s Department of Economics in the Trinity College of Arts & Sciences reveals that American consumers ultimately paid more than the tariff cost on European wines during a 2019–21 trade dispute. The research highlights how tariffs ripple through complex supply...

To make a point. Gasoline is pretty volatile; it goes up and comes down, I've paid 2/gal and 7.5/gal and that difference doesn't necessarily reflect inflation as a whole.

The below article has a handful of anecdotes covering numerous products from various origins.
I only recently became aware of how some of the tariffs are being implemented due to a bill a coworker received. The coworker purchased a garment from Europe in the fall, paid the full amount including applicable taxes. They received the item, then a month later they received a (surprise) tariff bill from FedEx. Fedex paid the tariff at time of arrival in the US to avoid other charges and later billed for reimbursement.
