"Hardly a day goes by without President Donald Trump
boasting about the record tariff revenue the US government
has been collecting since he ratcheted up taxes on almost
every imported good.
"'We have a lot of money coming in, much more money than
the country’s ever seen,' Trump said over the weekend, refer-
ring to tariff revenue.
"Trump’s right: The US government collected nearly $30
billion in tariff revenue last month, according to the Treasury
Department. That’s a 242% jump in tariff revenue compared
to last July.
"Since April, when the president began imposing a 10%
tariff across nearly all goods, among several other steeper
levies that followed, the government collected a total of $100
billion in tariff revenue, three times the amount collected
during the same four months last year."; And all those billions are coming out of
your pocket in the end... -not China's, not India's, not a single
one of the multitude of nations against
whom Dear Leader has chosen to levy
a "tax" -Your. Pocket.
