📋 Fact-Check Note on Tariff Figures
The flyer cites $4,600–$4,700/year — this reflects peak 2025 tariff projections. The verified Yale Budget Lab figure (April 8, 2026) is $1,200–$1,500/year while Section 122 tariffs are active, dropping to $760–$940 if they expire as scheduled in July 2026. Both numbers are real — they reflect different tariff scenarios at different points in time.
