Extra tariffs on Chinese imports will cost Americans $18 billion-a-year, retail group

News reporters and journalists, who are by-and-large liberal, write and speak at a fourth grade level. They will tell you that the reason they do this is that their readers comprehend at a fourth grade level.

That would be you. Take heart. They certainly wouldn't let on if they in fact could only write at that level.

As for Kimmel, like all Democrats anymore, he is simply turning facts upside down to appear like he too is knowledgeable and intelligent. He's a plagiarist of ideas. This idea has been axiomatic in news reporting for a long, long time.

The operative principle for democrats is theft.

Kimmel is a champ.

"The world’s largest retail trade association has urged the Trump administration not to impose additional tariffs on China as it would make Americans pay another $18 billion-a-year for various products, from footwear to furniture. "............."The group’s new study, released earlier this week, showes the scale of the problem. It reports that the tariffs would add $4.4 billion to the costs of apparel, $2.5 billion more to footwear, $3.7 billion more for toys and $1.6 billion more for household appliances each year; and all this will fall upon American consumers. This comes in addition to NRF’s previous gloomy calculations that 25 percent tariffs on furniture and travel goods would cost American consumers nearly $6 billion annually. Thus, the total extra costs could total $18.2 billion.......https://www.rt.com/business/462515-a...china-tariffs/

We spent $18 Billion dollars on the Easter holiday this year. We don't care.

The Walton Family and dozens of other huge GOP supporters are warning him also, but he only listens to his own uninformed tough guy hunches.

Buy American. Don't buy Chinese knock-off crap. If that squeezes your wallet then cut your monthly services such as high speed Internet.

Good call - every country should be doing this as much as possible . However , it was the multinationals and big importers that went to China to increase their profits at the expense of American jobs - never forget that.I can't see how China can be blamed for it

The "we" you refer too is a very misleading and unbalanced equation these days .The majority of average Americans can only dream of spending that much on lollies. Do you have shares in a big chocolate manufacturing operation ?
