Trump's Tariffs Seriously Reducing The National Debt

[task0778]

In CBO’s projections, the federal budget deficit is $1.9 trillion this year​

So, in the next ten years the deficit will only be $1.5 trillion each year, whoop-de-fuckin-do. And that is if Trump's tariffs stay in place over the next ten years, right? With no change in anybody's behavior, right? That's how democrats figure their extra revenue from higher taxes, as if people and businesses (countries) won't do things differently. Is that now okay? It sure as hell isn't reality.

1. The BBB cut $1.5T off Biden's last budget
2. You are wrong about the 2024 deficit, its $380b

4. Tariff revenue is easily $300b a year

Stop typing nonsense and do some research.

Actually it looks like it's going to be 500 billion in revenue...

 

[Etymology gaslight]

Yes
after the deep State
the Obama birth certificate
World policy and immigration.
The thing that djt will be remembered for most is reversing the national debt.
In the interest of making currency have real value again

Not just some spinning
land of the pork
windmill of reckless Congressional spending.

of circular logic

If Congress
was a pizza

people
would throw away the pizza
and eat the box.

Yes our government is that good.

The Supreme Court mostly orders Chinese food and Mexican lasagna.

The White House lives off of scraps from Congress and the Supreme Court.


Trump

I think he's of the philosophy why would a country like ours even have debt ?
that it's ridiculous.

But we have eminent domain
(5th amendment)
equally ridiculous,
but can erase any/all debt
Or foreign property ownership,
with a couple of strokes of the
Constitutional paintbrush.
(New York times building kelo versus New London)

Who loves
the founding mothers and fathers now ?

China
Russia or the Saudi Arabians
can't just take
Kansas City
Or the Grand Canyon
home with them
They really wish they could but they can't

The Moon is a whole different issue.

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 consumers are paying the tariffs.

Paid for by who?

 

[Lesh]

Paid for by who?

It’s actually being split between manufacturers and consumers right now but manufacturers will only eat it for so long

Remember Covid? They made up their losses and then some

Hold on to your chair. The ride is gonna get bumpy

Reminds me of global warming. The left says in ten years we will all be dead. After ten years, they say. No, I mean in another ten years. We were suppose to be dead by the year 2020. After 25 years we are doing great. But in ten more years! Lol

The consumers are paying the tariffs.

No they aren't. That's just a lie. Trump's tariffs have brought in over 200 billion dollars this year and inflation has only ticked up like .2% from where it had been.

 

[task0778]

Yeah, they are. At least in part.


The party responsible for paying the tariff is the American company that imports the product. For example, if a U.S. electronics retailer imports computer components from China, the company pays the tariff when the goods arrive at a U.S. port. This payment is made to U.S. Customs and Border Protection and goes directly into the federal treasury. The foreign exporter has no legal obligation to pay this tax, nor is it charged at the point of export. This reality stands in direct contradiction to President Trump’s frequent assertion that China or other foreign countries are paying the tariffs.

Although the importer is the one who pays the tariff upfront, the economic impact does not stop there. Tariffs act like a cost increase in the supply chain. American importers must decide how to absorb this new cost. In some cases, they may try to pressure foreign suppliers to lower their prices to offset the tariff, and occasionally, exporters will agree to partial discounts to maintain market access. However, this is not guaranteed and depends heavily on the competitiveness of the market and the elasticity of demand.

More often, the increased costs are passed downstream. Importers may raise prices for wholesalers and distributors, who in turn pass the costs along to retailers. Ultimately, it is American consumers who feel the impact in the form of higher prices on everyday goods — from clothing and electronics to household appliances and even groceries. Alternatively, companies may try to absorb the tariffs by accepting lower profit margins, cutting investments, or reducing wages and employment. A 2019 study conducted by economists at Columbia University, Princeton University, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York found that American consumers and companies were paying nearly the full cost of Trump’s tariffs.

Trump tariffs rake in big money, but who is paying?

Donald Trump's tariffs are impacting global trade. American firms pay the tariffs on imported goods. This increases costs, affecting consumers. Despite this, foreign exporters face reduced sales. They also experience instability in supply chains. The tariffs create uncertainty for international...

This the reality, despite what Trump says. No doubt each applied tariff has it's own individual circumstances for who is actually paying what. But, while the burden of paying for those tariffs is somewhat elastic, to claim that consumers aren't paying higher prices is wrong.

 

[Mac1958]

Amazing the Trumpsters STILL don’t know how tariffs work.

This is coming from American employers, decreasing their ability to hire people and/or expand.

Please cite when anyone said we’d be dead in ten years. Sounds like MAGA BS!

 

[The Irish Ram]

Just tax the shit out of the rich

And the rich will leave. Then the burden is passed to the middle class...

The very first earth day they predicted that the earth would be depleted of resources for human life in 2000. Well we are just fine, they cannot predict the weather for tomorrow. But they tell us how it will be in 10 years, and guess what? They are always wrong.

That’s what they’d like you to think. Where would they go where they’d have it any better?

It was a prediction and it was way off. Just like all of Al Gore's were.

Trump cut their taxes and made US products more competitive since foreign products are more expensive.
Not to mention the commitments for new US plants from foreign companies.
Tariffs are helping balance the US budget.

The reality is prices have only nudged up a little while the US has taken it over 200 billion in tariff revenue.

That cannot last for long if the tariffs remain as they are. Sooner or later prices WILL rise, they always do historically.
