Trump's tariff revenue is on pace for another monthly record in June

Hey, I'm one of the good guys buddy.

You sure believe you understand Canada though don't you? You weren't born and raised in a caste system so shush with the opinions lad.

You do entertain me though. I even spit some of my tea out once in awhile when you land your patented "stfu (in caps)" on me. A classic!
.

Not as far as IM2 is concerned, you're not one of the good guys.

You were giving millions and billions to people. Who is giving this money, Simp.

Surely you know, it’s your plan.
Dipshit. This a thread on TARIFFS. So the money we are talking about is GIVING BACK tariff money to rich and poor people and we were talking about the fact that economically its better to NOT TAKE money from the poor for tariffs and taxes because they SPEND all their money where as wealthy people SAVE a large portion of their money so it doesnt hit the GDP like poor people's money. It was a discussion about why tariffs are regressive and it isnt just fair but bad economic policy. Taxing rich is more fair and better for the economy than regressive tariffs. You thought you had something there I bet.

You are as thick headed as people come. If you had no tariff people would have their money back. A tax on the rich beats a tariff that disproportionately affects the middle and poor. Sigh.
 

U.S. Posts First Monthly Budget Surplus Since 2017 Amid Tariff Windfall

11 July 2025

Just a week after President Donald Trump signed the “Big Beautiful Bill” into law, the U.S. Treasury surprised markets with a rare budget surplus for June 2025. The federal government reported a $27 billion surplus—the first monthly surplus in eight years—defying economists’ forecasts of a $41.5 billion deficit.
The surplus was fueled largely by a surge in tariff revenues, driven by Trump’s aggressive trade policies. Customs duties reached $27 billion in June, up from $23 billion in May, and up a massive 301% from June 2024. Year-to-date, the government has collected $113 billion in tariffs, marking an 86% increase compared to the same period last year. Much of the jump stems from the 10% blanket import tariff imposed in April, alongside targeted tariffs on nations like Canada, China, South Korea, and Japan.
~Snip~
While the June surplus offers a short-term boost, long-term fiscal sustainability remains in question as borrowing costs soar. Investors and policymakers alike are watching closely to see whether Trump’s trade and fiscal strategies can deliver lasting economic results.

Commentary:
Democrats screaming with hair on fire. Where's Powell on this? Surely he'll do everything in his power to offset this Trump policy and financial win?

Ok. Money coming in at the point of a gun. I think that's called extortion.
At the same time, inflation is ticking upward.....so..not as much of a win as you think it is.
Yes, boys and girls, higher prices..are passed along to the consumer. Economics 101.

Extortion? You do know that tariffs are in common use around the world, right? Unless you can dredge up evidence that you've been complaining about them being extortion before TRUJMP!, you're just making that up.

That's not true. They normally run a monthly surplus in April.

You can bet your bippy that the msm won't be reporting this.

inflation is at its lowest point in 4 yrs .. do honestly believe that slinging lie proves anything but the fact that you are a liar?

Again, we call collecting money at the point of coercion...to be extortion.
Tariffs are common around the world, Skippy. But we don't normally use them as battering rams.
It usually comes back to bite us in the ass.....or the person initiating said extortion rackets...backs down. :)

So, it's only extortion when we do it because reasons and feelz. Just admit it, you never complained about tariffs until TRUMP! applied some.

Who was the President when the last monthly surplus happened? Refresh my memory. ;)

Uh-huh, you run with that. Come back and talk to me in six months. We're just getting warmed up with the savior's tariff tacos.
And I seem to recall that your savior left Biden with an awful mess that helped lead to that high inflation.
