66. At this point I'll settle for prices coming back down about 15 or 20%

I know we'll never see any refunds from the overcharges we've already paid in the last year. That money is already gone. And retailers were caught in the middle, they held off raising prices as long as they could.

US manufacturers and importers were and are raising their prices WHETHER OR NOT their goods were charged a tariff. They raised prices across the board because they COULD. It has been a money grab from the get-go.

I hope someone does a full expose on this sham very soon. Americans need to know that we're being overcharged for EVERYTHING we buy, including products that were never subject to Chump's tariff charges.

Chump did that!
