A piece by the WSJ’s editorial board. I’m not normally a fan of WSJ opinion pieces, since they’re usually garbage, but…

«Michigan families have paid $27.2 billion in tariff-driven costs since January 2025, according to the business outfit Michigan Smart Trade Alliance. That’s roughly $6,658 per household.

The Anderson Economic Group estimated the auto tariffs on Canada and Mexico alone last year totaled approximately $1,600 for every vehicle assembled in the U.S. That doesn’t include tariffs on steel and aluminum. The border taxes are shrinking the margins of U.S. auto makers, which means smaller profit-sharing bonuses for workers.

General Motors says it expects a tariff cost hit of between $2.5 billion and $3.5 billion this year. That could mean $3,500 less in bonuses for workers.»
