Trumps tariffs could decrease the national debt by 4 trillion !

[Hafar1014]

We are there now.

We have 10 years to fix it and are doing NOTHING.

Trump is cutting spending and the tariffs will end the deficit. Then we can start reducing the debt while democrats try and spend trillions on illegals

The CBO Uses them in its projections

According to recent reports and economic analyses, tariffs imposed in 2025 are projected to reduce the U.S. federal budget deficit by increasing government revenue from import duties. However, economists note that this effect is complex and is accompanied by higher prices for consumers, a contraction of the overall economy, and limited impact on the trade deficit.
Impact on the federal budget deficit

• Reduced deficit projection: The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected in August 2025 that new tariff revenue, if maintained, would decrease the U.S. federal budget deficit by $4 trillion over the next decade. This includes approximately $3.3 trillion in direct revenue and an additional $700 billion in reduced interest spending due to less federal borrowing.

Not happening, much as you wish. They will help but not end.

Why do you keep ignoring this part?

Im not I gave the CBO projection. Its likely the deficit will be paid off before Trumps term ends. If democrats were in power it would explode. All they know is borrow and spend, bribe and fund programs no one needs

You keep talking about a decade when the deficit is yearly. Big difference!

 

[HikerGuy83]

in August 2025 that new tariff revenue, if maintained, would decrease the U.S. federal budget deficit by $4 trillion over the next decade.

That is what? 400 billion per year.....?

First, has that been adjusted for the time value of money?

Next, that is 20% of our current deficit.

So, if it was this alone, next years deficit is 1.6 trillion?

First, that's not really helping. The debt will continue to grow and that 1 trillion in interest is growing.

Its likely the deficit will be paid off before Trumps term ends.

You are losing me here. You don't pay off the deficit. You can eliminate it one year and it can come back the next.

Your savings are only at 20% for tariffs. Where does the other 1.6 trillion come from ?

Trump guaranteed he would turn around the economy on day one. Plus no matter how good or bad an economy is, a President can provide a balanced budget.
