Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon said he plans to introduce a companion bill to the bipartisan Senate legislation aimed at reclaiming Congress’ authority over tariffs, becoming the first House Republican to openly challenge the powers President Donald Trump is using to launch a massive global trade war.

    To be clear,

    Article 1 section 8 of the US constitution states

    “Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises - to pay for the debts and provide for the defense and general welfare of the United States - but, all taxes, duties, imposts, and excises must be uniform throughout the United States.”

    And grants Congress the power to “regulate commerce with foreign nations.”

    The GOP can end the tarrif war overnight

        The people who are going to be hurt most from this, are going to be those who voted for this orange fuck. They’re usually the ones who take the most in handouts from the gov.
