Trump tariffs create budget surplus

[T. A. Gardner]

Sorry, TA, but Trump is BY FAR the worst president in my lifetime...and almost certainly, in my opinion, the worst president ever in the history of this country. (And as I have mentioned before, over one-third of all the presidents who have ever served...have served during my lifetime.)

I have never said anything remotely like that about any president previously...and there have been several that I considered pretty bad.

But Trump is an abomination...a disgusting individual and a miserable president.

The reason for his bad press is not bias against him...it is because he is so bad.

Oh, I'll give you that Trump is a bastard and rude, but many presidents were equally so or worse. It's said LBJ took a piss in front of the press in the Rose Garden simply because he needed to go and didn't give a shit what the press thought. He got us into Vietnam on a baldfaced lie but he didn't care.

He put through the Great Society--an catastrophic failure of social policy--to buy the Black vote.

Bill Clinton makes Trump look like a choirboy when it comes to sex. The guy is a total sleaze.

Nice guy presidents often finish last, like Carter.

Oh, I'll give you that Trump is a bastard and rude,

Yeah. That is another thing he has in common with the late Adolf Hitler. Hitler also was rude.

..but many presidents were equally so or worse. It's said LBJ took a piss in front of the press in the Rose Garden simply because he needed to go and didn't give a shit what the press thought. He got us into Vietnam on a baldfaced lie but he didn't care.

The many anecdotes about the crudeness of LBJ MAY have some basis in truth. But there are very few documented cases of that crudeness that come even close to matching what Trump does daily in public.

And LBJ did not get us into Vietnam. You should know that.

He put through the Great Society--an catastrophic failure of social policy--to buy the Black vote.

LBJ did not administrate by fiat. The Great Society policy was enacted by Congress...and it was not a failure, it was a success.

If you want to think it was motivated by a desire to get black votes...you are free to do so. If I want to consider it motivated by a desire to eliminate poverty as much as possible and to aim at reducing racial injustice...I am, for the moment, still free to do so.

Bill Clinton makes Trump look like a choirboy when it comes to sex. The guy is a total sleaze.

NOTHING makes Trump look like a choirboy. NOTHING except in the mind of people devoted to kissing his ass while he destroys our Republic, TA.

Nice guy presidents often finish last, like Carter.

I am not asking that Trump become a "nice guy." It would be nice, though, if he were a bit less of a pompous, narcissistic, bloviating piece of shit.

I'll keep an eye out...(I don't know how you guys do K cups, though...lol) Amazon has them on sale quite often... Especially if you subscribe ....

I really like the JOE K cups. JOE has some different flavors and variations but the "tall dark and handsome " are the best IMO. Just ordered more from Amazon yesterday in fact.

 

[Sammy Jankis]

A tariff is a tax PAID BY THE IMPORTER...and almost always passed on to the consumers.

So, Trump is raising taxes on consumers (mostly from the lower end of the wealth scale) in order to "balance the budget"...which really means "to give more tax breaks to the very wealthy."

And you applaud!

Oh, well. You will learn...and I suspect it will be quickly.

people get jobs and taxe are lower is the correct way to look at it.

your continual retarded framing of reality is turning your into a permanent retard.

I know Many people are K cup fans...I just don't think it brews strong or hot enough...
,,,,and you can buy the little filters and use your own coffee... I imagine they sell beans or ground by the pound...
Amazon is a great place to find sales...
Did you ever buy the air fryer?

Your jean price went up because they need more denim to cover your even expanding rear end. Are you suggesting we don't have the technology to make jeans? Remember there is also a savings in not having to ship them around the world. Why would you want slaves making your jeans. That is just evil.

Ah, there's the typical juvenile and thoughtless response from you we've come to know and mock.

Trying to talk seriously with MAGATs is an example of exercises in futility. I try to get my futility workouts done early so the rest of the day I can converse with actual sentient people.

Not yet on the air fryer. Also,...they do sell the Joe coffee by the bag as well. I never was a K cup guy until last year. It keeps me from over drinking coffee which I am prone to do!....LOL

 

[Tbird19482]

Only the Left. That's been true for me since the 80's. Saw it in college and it hasn't changed since. Trump is a temporary aberration. He'll be gone and somebody will replace him. The problem is the Left is relentless. They may be utterly stupid, but they never give up.

Once the Left latches onto an idea, no matter how insane, they won't let go or change their minds.

And AGAIN a DEM has to come in and fix everything a Republican fucked up.
How many times now has a Dem had to come in and fix the economy?
Republicans run us into a recession and dems get us out , it happens time and time again.
And you can look it up The economy does better when we have a DEM in the W H then when we have a Republican.
And I pity the poor person who becomes our next President and has to come in and clean up all Trumps messes, NOW that is going to be one Hell of a REALLY BIG job.

That makes sense...
I've seen some good deals on small appliances on Woot...which is Amazon...
I got a great deal on a convection oven there...

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

I "know it"? I just explained why I feel it's 100% true. The only reason you're shilling for this tax on consumers is because you hate Democrats so much, you've got to overcompensate for your party's incompetence and treason.

You know what makes me sure? After your "Democrats are pissed at anyone not in lockstep".. I posted several names (not all) of the Republicans who were retaliated against for daring to speak truth to power and call trump out and you totally ignored it. Why? It's flies in the face of your prejudiced narrative. "Democrats are evil".

Sorry, man. Feel sorry for you a bit.

Nailed it.

 

[Althea]

I know! It's like, the trumptards think the tariffs will create factories instantly as if by magic and then all manufacturing will happen here. Every trumptard lives in an alternate reality.

Oh, by the way, the next two posts after yours are by @Hawkeye10 . Please translate what he said for the class and have it ready for us by morning

I've had Hawk on ignore for years. I don't suffer that word salad anymore.

Apologies.

Eating a jelly roll is all the work out that you do. You doing a workout is as real as Mr. Owl having a 15% EF and the Medicaid doctor saying he was capable of work.

I have confidence in American workers to be able to make your fat ass jeans for a reasonable price. We have done it in the past before our jobs were shipped off shore in favor of the slave labor that you are so fond of supporting. Trump is trying to bring jobs back to the US so that people can buy homes and get their part of the American dream.

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

Perhaps you should bother to check your facts before you make idiotic claims.
In 2024, the US had surpluses in April and September.

Here is the Federal report

https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/files/reports-statements/mts/mts0625.pdf

In 2024 there were two months with a surplus so this is not the first time since Trumps first term. The surpluses happen in the months where quarterly tax payments are due. April is the most common month to have that happen. Then when you look at the actual numbers, the US is on pace to have a larger deficit this fiscal year compared to last year. At this point in 2024 the US had a $1.2 trillion deficit. It is already $1.33 trillion this fiscal year.

Truthiness combined with credible sourcing. Well done.

Let the magic begin...

 

[FastLane]

• The federal government collected $26.6 billion in tariff revenue in June, a notable increase as President Trump's tariff policies took effect.
• This surge in revenue, combined with a decrease in government spending, resulted in a budget surplus of about $27 billion for the month of June.
• Customs duties for the month were up 301% compared to June 2024.
• The Treasury Department reported $27 billion in customs-duties revenue for June, bringing fiscal year-to-date inflows from levies to $113 billion, according to the agency's monthly budget statement. https://www.google.com/search?q=tra...NTA5OGowajE1qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
