Not usually a measure people are shooting for on tariffs. The fact that last year we had an effective rate about 2 1/2 percent. I think The Yale Budget Lab has said that [the current effective tariff] rate is closer to 28%, the highest since 1901. I know some of that's changed because the tariffs are on again, off again, some on again, some off again. Somewhat chaotic, I believe, as your term is. (00:16–00:24)
