Today is Monday, June 9, 2025. The high today was forecast to be 105. Yesterday my eleven-year-old air-conditioner died. I was able to schedule a technician's service visit today. He tried to fix it but ultimately told my wife and me that we would need to replace it. He was very apologetic about the cost but told us that due to the Trump tariffs that went into effect recently, we would have paid about 25% less at the beginning of May than we have to pay now.
Twenty. Five. Percent.
Trump said the exporting countries would pay the tariffs. He lied. Congressman Ciscomani knows Trump lied and yet he voted for the Big Murder Bill (a.k.a. Budget Reconciliation Bill) anyway.
Congressman, where are your scruples? How can you look away when your constituents are paying 25% more for necessary home repairs than they would have a month or two ago?
