I thought it'd be more than that. That's... Uh... Kind of tame?

Depends on if you're a paycheck away from trouble or not. Many are now...and tariffs and other effects from this admin can push many more to that point.

The source for the data is from the Tax Foundation, which is ostensibly non-partisan, but their president and CEO worked as policy staff for three different Republicans, so YMMV.

I thought so too. It probably is being reported kind of tame. It's probably worse.
