Trump's Tariffs Seriously Reducing The National Debt

[Hafar1014]

Keep working that unicorn herd

Try posting an actual thought. Dont strain yourself

 

[Stuartbirdan2]

Lets start with the CBO analysis of the BBB, which shows $3.8T added to the debt over 10-years, or a $380b deficit each year

https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/28/politics/tax-bill-cbo-estimates-deficit-explained

Now look at the flawed or conservative assumptions that $380b a year deficit is based on:
1. Credit $300b a year in new tariff revenue, almost nets a balanced budget
2. Credit $190b a year in DOGE savings, if congress incorporates their recommendations
3. Credit another $300b in interest savings when the Fed lowers interest rates 1%
4. Credit more revenue because the CBO assumed 1.8% GDP growth, we should do 3% easily
5. Credit $440b if congress "claws-back" democrat theft

$375B EPA slush fund handled by John Podesta gave billions to charities founded only months earlier

Time for another lefty meltdown and denials. Winning. One thing I love about the left is they never get tired of losing. It's just a way of life for them. Trump's tariffs have been a good thing for a number of reasons. The left keep complaining about tariffs raising prices and yet we never actually see raised prices. They're always right around the corner.

Trump is bringing in so much revenue from tariffs that it’s seriously reducing the $37 trillion national debt​

The CBO uses a flat method and dont account for increases in revenue like the tariffs that are on track to bring in 1 trillion a year. Also increased GDP and taxes collected. Spending cuts.
Trump will have enough to end the annual deficit of 1.6 trillion. Then he can pay down the national debt.

that was a nice effort, thanks for it all, however, that doesn't show it being passed to the consumers. That's what I was asking you, you stated you've been impacted already and I asked you for what it was that you were affected on. You demofks have a hard time with comprehension.

 

[Hafar1014]

I hope America is enjoying the tax increase.

The tariffs are on track to bring in 1 trillion a year. The annual deficit is 1.6 trillion. That goes away then we have a surplus to pay down the national debt. We also have massive spending cuts.

 

[jc456]

Keep working that unicorn herd

see the economic numbers for the end of July? Hilarous smack in your face.

 

[Hafar1014]

Manufacturers must sell consumers dont have to buy. That drives prices down

 

[jc456]

So I assume Trumpsters are thanking American employers for footing the bill, for writing these massive checks?

Are you guys sending them Thank You cards?

oh, so wait, the consumers aren't being affected? Wasn't that the squeeze in here? haahahahahahahahahaaha, they know their market share and consumer's needs keep buying is all one needs to do. Hilarious the reach you go through, you must look like a pretzel spun twice.

 

[jc456]

it's why the consumer isn't paying tariff costs. all these complicit demofks are wrong as fking usual.

 

[Zincwarrior]

The NARRATIVE from the demented LEFT:
Trump's tariffs are a TAX ON THE PEOPLE
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Its accurate. Who exactly do you think is being taxed?
If my widgit cost to make is $50 including feedstock costs and you add $50 in tariffs, if charge anything less than $100 you are losing money per widget. If you were selling the widget before at $70 and still sold it at $70 you would be LOSING $30 per widget, and your job within a month.

 

[jc456]

Its accurate. Who exactly do you think is being taxed?

not the consumer. why don't you vet your sources for facts first? you're such a fking media's puppet.

 

[Zincwarrior]

The tariffs are on track to bring in 1 trillion a year. The annual deficit is 1.6 trillion. That goes away then we have a surplus to pay down the national debt. We also have massive spending cuts.

The deficit is literally increasing in real time as the debt broke expected levels earlier.

I said that the American employers are paying the tariffs.

American employers pay the tariffs on items they import.

You know that, right? The rest you just made up, of course.

So, you know that American employers pay the tariffs on items they import, right?

 

[Hafar1014]

The deficit is literally increasing in real time as the debt broke expected levels earlier.

Thank Biden for that Trump has us on track to reduce it

 

[jc456]

I used to think it was accidental and total incompetence. Not anymore, especially with Trump as president. They genuinely want America to fail so that they can say, "We told you so", while they do everything they can to destroy America to prove their point.

right, they inflict shit to hurt america on purpose. They want the country to fail. And, they will do whatever it takes to make that so. Trump still kicks their ass though.
