Senator Alsobrooks says businesses, American public to foot the bill for Liberation Day tariffs

Maryland Senator Angela Alsobrooks says in debate on a joint resolution by Virginia Senator Tim Kaine that would end a national emergency declaration with respect to fentanyl imported from Canada issued by President Trump that the Trump Administration entered office promising to lower costs and ease burdens on American families but these tariffs would do the exact opposite, as the president readily admitted they would disrupt the economy yet claimed the disruption would be minor and cause only "a little bit of pain", perhaps minor for billionaires but not for everyday Americans from blue-collar families who deserved to know the truth about how Trump tariffs would affect their day-to-day lives, grocery prices, energy costs, and dreams of homeownership rather than being subjected to an indiscriminate and chaotic approach to an economy already not working for everyone, especially since a potential recession would most heavily impact small businesses and consumers rather than billionaires.
