Just read Rand Paul is the only Republican in congress against the tariffs. Odd but he is the only one that gets it.

Yes, when you are building housing. But in the context of burden on the poor, rent is probably the issue. And if you are home owner construction costs have minimal impact on cost of living.
On food, yes some food is imported but we are a major agriculture nation. We have plenty of our own. As Conagra just announced. People will not starve.

Nobody is saying people will starve. They will, however, be paying more for various foodstuffs.
Seafood, for example. More than half is imported. Lotsa stuff gonna cost more if these tariffs stand:
Yes, and they will pay higher prices or adjust their diets. Plenty of choices. (And lots to gripe about.)
