I guess get ready to pay $10 for milk instead of $5

With your comment what is your though on the Dairy Price Support Program then? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dairy_Price_Support_Program

There is not enough information on that link to have a position.

My comment is more about the price of goods transportation causing price increases than whatever that link is about. I have never heard about that program. So if I wrote get ready to pay $30 for the price of eggs instead of $12 would I get someone discussing the Egg Price Displacement Program?

Not sure why you’re downvoted for pointing this out. Like most recent tax proposals this would disproportionately impact the rural middle class. Farmers and truck drivers would be directly impacted and then these costs would be passed on to consumers.

Those poor enough to receive WIC and EBT payments would have this tax largely subsidized, so it won’t impact them, and the wealthy would barely notice.
