Trump's Tariffs Seriously Reducing The National Debt

[candycorn]

However, the national debt isn't being reduced. The tariffs in combination with the income tax cuts are simply another of Washington's means of robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Not only are we not reducing the debt, few jobs are being brought “home” which was the original argument blob supporters made for tariffs.

every mthr fking demofk university is what you think is evidence?

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is not a mthr fking demofk university.

There are numerous studies done by numerous agencies and organizations that say the same thing. If you don't believe it, that's fine. There's never going to be any proof, one way or the other but yeah, there is evidence that tariffs are paid for by domestic companies and consumers. I'd be interested in reading any source you might have that says Trump's tariffs during his 1st term were in fact paid for by foreign exporters or their gov'ts.

They would let their money sit? You can’t believe that. As the best haven, they know they have it good and have convinced enough people to vote against their own interests.

They would, they did when 90%. Or they move away if there is a place to go to.

 

[leftwinger]

When you have Left Wing folk that desperately want tariffs to be harmful on their own countryman and economy, just to score invisible political points, then that's what wrong.

The federal government reported a deficit of $291 billion in July 2025, an increase of $47 billion from the $244 billion deficit recorded in July 2024. Revenues were up in the past month, however, those gains were outpaced by spending increases.
Spending in July 2025 was $56 billion more than in July last year, largely driven by a $21 billion increase in outlays by the Department of Education related to the estimation of outstanding loan costs. Other categories that contributed to the increased spending were Medicaid ($17 billion more than in July 2025), net interest payments ($11 billion), and Social Security ($10 billion). Offsetting those increases was a $19 billion decrease in outlays by the Department of Housing and Urban Development as a result of a significant downward revision to the estimated costs of outstanding housing loans. Receipts were up by $8 billion in July 2025 compared to the previous year — customs duties collections rose by $21 billion, while individual income taxes fell by $8 billion and excise taxes fell by $7 billion.

Obiden obligations Congress thrilled to keep it going. They can pilfering. They can make Trump look bad. Slow progress down.

But Congress is running out of time...we'll see.

Who’s talking 90%. I hasn’t been anywhere near that in decades. The wealthy keep crying and the electorate somehow keeps taking pity on the “poor little richies”!

Like most of the politicians, I didn’t read the bill either, but I did listen to the news. Perhaps that’s where you missed the boat.

Yep, you listen to media faked news, we know, it’s why you’re uninformed

Who do you listen to? What makes your source the truth? Let’s see the evidence.

So do I, but you’re always questioning things that have been in the news repeatedly, like you haven’t been paying attention!

You’re always quoting main stream media! They lie, proven as I already posted

 

[kyzr]

Hope so? The OP says that the tariffs are (giggle) “seriously” reducing the debt. Is he lying?
Isn’t the blob in favor of such rebates? The administration has mentioned it at least twice.

If democrats hold the government hostage by not passing any of the appropriations bills, then the government will keep using CR, after CR, after CR, so no budget cuts would be realized. Democrats are obstructionists. Thune needs to go nuclear.

So let's review:

President Pederast Pimp lowered taxes on rich people and transferred the tax burden to the lower earners with tariffs.

This is my shocked face.

Literally explained in my post. I even try to use simple words and sentences for the low IQ idiots here.

Can't save 'em all, i guess.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted the Trump administration’s request to hear its appeal of lower court rulings that many of President Donald Trump’s wide-ranging tariffs are illegal.

The Supreme Court also agreed with the administration’s request to consider the appeal on a faster-than-normal timeline.

The court, in an order, said it would hear oral arguments in the first week of November. It allotted one hour for that session.

The court consolidated two separate cases in which plaintiffs – seven small businesses and a dozen states — have successfully challenged the legality of the tariffs at issue.

The Trump administration, in asking for the expedited appeal in one of the cases, has warned that the Treasury Department could be forced to refund between $750 billion and $1 trillion in collected tariffs if the Supreme Court waited until next June to issue a decision that agreed with lower court judges that the duties are illegal.

The law on trump invoking emergency authority is crystal clear. The lower courts got it right. Regrettably, the law doesn't matter to the conservatives on this court.

Except you actually didn’t provide the tax code
