it has gotten worse under biden as the trump tariffs have been more strictly enforced by him, amounting to a tax on the consumer. before accounting for behavioral effects, the $79 billion in higher tariffs amount to an average annual tax increase on us households of $625. based on actual revenue collections data, trade war tariffs have directly increased tax collections by $200 to $300 annually per us household, on average. the actual cost to households is higher than both the $600 estimate before behavioral effects and the $200 to $300 after, because neither accounts for lower incomes as tariffs shrink output, nor the loss in consumer choice as people switch to alternatives that do not face tariffs.   all/federal/tariffs/
