Of all the things that every American must use is toilet paper. You can be a billionaire who can afford to hire someone to wipe you rear end, or a homeless unfortunate, we all need that paper. Imagine all the tons of it that has to be made, shipped and sold to the stores we frequent. Toilet paper becomes the best indicator, or rather the price of it, that gauges where we all stand economically. This writer knows it too well, how this conundrum affects us.

Trump and company have been following the Heritage Foundation’s 2025 dire plan too well. His crazy tariff decisions are seesawing the financial markets and of course the well being or lack of for hundreds of millions of working stiffs. Forget about the situation regarding egg prices, as the bird flu is one of the culprits along with Trump and co. Check out toilet paper and how much it costs when things get bleak for us working stiffs. When so many of us are being strangled by this economy, we all still need that paper each and every day. The more the Trump crew destroys our financial working stiff wellbeing, the search for better deals on what cleans off our fecal matter becomes vital.

Perhaps Mr. Trump should go around to low and low middle income communities and do what he did after the hurricane in Puerto Rico: Start throwing it to the crowds!
