I see that we are back to exploring the Quantum Nature of Taxation, wherein tariffs are both going away soon as a result of incredible deal-making and are also generating massive ongoing revenue as a way to combat poverty.

Assuming a goods deficit of ~$1T was tariffed at 100%, providing $1T in “external revenue,” with a 2025 spend at $6.8T there would still be a ~$6T revenue shortfall. Eliminating ~$5T in IRS receipts would not be possible. They teach math at Whartons?

I look forward to the day when the Wharton School releases the transcripts, or if you look at this article they stop getting mentioned…Do we have #PresidentSantos and that explains the total idiocy? www.thedp.com/article/2024...

Yeah, right. I call massive bullshit. But, his MAGAts will either simply believe him, per usual cult behavior, or just won't care that he's flat-out lying. Again. 😖

Tariffs have been around for a few weeks and he wants us to believe factories are already being built because of them somehow? I mean, the whole post is bullshit, but c'mon.

My husband and his over 600 construction friends are ALL on the out of work list, waiting to get a call for construction jobs. The lists are higher than they've ever been, more ppl out of work than in 20 years - so where is all this construction happening?
