So, if you want to buy that $10.00 Shein beauty item -- it now will cost you:

$10.50 (5% inflation increase)
+ 5.35 (51% Turd tariff increase) = $15.85.

$15.85
+ 1.54 (Cal/Los Angeles sales tax [9.75%]) = $17.39.

Don't forget that your $10 dollar bill is only now worth $8.90 of real purchasing power due to the depreciating and weakened value of dollar. So, the actual "real losses" which you are incurring on your $10 dollar purchase are $17.39 (inflation, tariffs and tax on the item) minus $8.90 (value of the weakened dollar) = $8.49 in "actual" economic loss, you have now incurred, due to the Turd's failed economic policies, on the purchase of that $10.00 Shein beauty item.

Thanks again, Turd, and thank you to every Republican asshole MAGAt who voted for this insane criminal.
