Nearly $5 Trillion more in US wealth has been lost this week due to chaotic moves on tariffs arbitrarily imposed by the Trump administration. None of the tariffs that the President has proposed and implemented have ever had a single vote in the US Congress. This is unconstitutional.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere is Speaker Johnson\u2026 asleep at the wheel? \u00a0Where is the Ways and Means Committee\u2026asleep at the switch? \u00a0The Trump Administration\u2019s dangerous overreach is totally damaging to the US economy and unnerving to America\u2019s Allies around the globe. Crashing the US economy is not in the short nor long term interest of the American people. What has occurred in America\u2019s markets this week is dangerous. Descent into economic chaos is consequential to every single citizen. Retirement plans are put at risk. Jobs are put at risk. Savings are put at risk. Investments are put at risk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have spent the majority of my time in the House trying to repair the economic damage to our economy of poorly conceived trade agreements that hollowed out the industrial and agricultural economy of our region. As a private businessman and billionaire, Donald Trump never lifted a finger to help us as industrial firms, his included, shipped jobs offshore or collapsed family farm after farm through consolidation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow this unnecessary market implosion has been forced on the American people without a single vote in Congress. I call on Speaker Johnson to do his job. Call the House back into Special Session to address this illegal tariff regime. Our grandparents and millions of Americans suffered through the \u2018Great Economic Depression\u2019 in the last century. That is not a route any American wants to endure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (OH-09) released the following statement in response to the economic impact and fallout of President Trump\u2019s tariff announcements this week. \u201cAmerica\u2019s enemies around the world today are applauding.
