New Tariffs = Higher Costs. What the Hell Are You Doing?

To: Sen. Slotkin, Rep. Walberg, Pres. Trump, Sen. Peters

From: A constituent in Adrian, MI

April 3

We’re already getting crushed out here—housing, food, energy, everything costs more. And now you want to slap tariffs on EVs, batteries, and solar tech? That’s economic sabotage. These new tariffs won’t protect American workers—they’ll just make essentials more expensive for the rest of us. We’ve seen this play out before: a political stunt disguised as policy. You talk about fighting inflation, but this does the exact opposite. What’s the plan—make sure no one can afford clean energy or electric vehicles? Tank American manufacturing while pretending you’re helping it? Working people, small businesses, and anyone trying to build a future are the ones who pay for these headlines. We don’t need another empty gesture from D.C. that blows up in our faces. We need leadership with some damn sense. Oppose these tariffs. Say something. Do something. Or get out of the way.
