When businesses face hardship, they lay off. That's demonstrable. Employees are a luxury.

When Section 174 tax code ended, that set off a tidal wave of layoffs. And that's not even a new tax -- that's just amortization. When real taxes are levied on businesses, it'll be a blood bath.

> tariffs have done nothing except increase the price of everything by 10% across the board.

You're preaching to the choir. I'm not a fan of the administration or the tariffs. For a party that purports to be fiscally conservative, they're doing the opposite.
