Dumbest post ever
Tariffs will not increase tax revenue
Tariffs will lower tax revenue by a lot
Stock market is down today because of tariffs
Retirees spending less as their retirement accounts are crashing
Businesses will increase prices
inflation will go up because prices will go up
Businesses will pay less taxes because people not buying as much so economy shrinks
A growing economy depends on people spending
less jobs means less tax revenue as business stop hiring and start lay offs
Trump tariff actions will start a recession
small picture for small minds think tariffs will increase tax revenue
Big picture for smart minds. tarriffs = shrinking economy decreases tax revenue due to a trade war
You want to increase tax revenue , you grow the economy with free trade. Its a no brainer
Only dumb Trump supporters think tariffs raise tax revenue


This drivel is what you come back with? A tariff IS tax revenue!
Market crashing?? The WoV portfolio is down 1/2 of 1%! Crash?

You realize tariffs on foreign imports make American products more competitive? So MORE jobs in the USA. Maybe less jobs overseas or in Canada, but MORE jobs in the USA.

Quite frankly, your post was amazing! You were wrong on every feeble attempt to make a point! It’s actually quite difficult to do. Congratulations. Humor us. Tell us what you won’t be buying because of a tariff? I’m waiting..

Mexico's President is sending 10,000 troops to the border to stop immigrants and cartel drug flow.


It'll be interesting if covert deep state dark funds are somewhat halted as a result of the lessened drug flow.

If they stop the drugs, we could see upticks in riots, crime, and murders in blue sanctuary cities.

Especially treatment center attendance.


It looks like Trump is going after the covert cash crop.

No telling how many judges depend upon that money.

Let's see if I can make a good nonsense theory. Aileen Cannon has an offshore account some nice soul set up for her with a couple million dollars in it.

The stock market depends on debt, meaning federal and state debt.

If there were no debt, there would be no fiat currency (USD).

Since fiat currency is debt.


If the debt continues to move up, then so will the market.


But, Musk & DOGE mentioned finding one trillion dollars to cut.

If they pay down the debt with the trillion (smart), then the market has likely peaked.


My thoughts are Trump will spend the trillion since he's really a liberal, although very much a Patriot.

If he were a conservative Patriot in nature, he'd pay down the debt with the trillion.

The black box on the jet that smashed into the street was recovered 8 feet down.

Was curious, so checked:

Key points about a black box's impact resistance:
Force: Can withstand an impact force of 3,400 Gs.
Temperature resistance: Can survive temperatures exceeding 1,100 degrees Celsius (2,000 degrees Fahrenheit) for a significant duration.
Water immersion: Designed to function even when submerged in deep water for extended periods.

that particular crash was beyond weird ... can a Lear Jet accidentally take a dive into the ground that? My gut says no, but I have no facts

Meteors smaller than Lear jets have made larger impact craters, so with the right combination of velocity, mass and angle, I'm sure a Lear jet could indeed create one heck of a hole.

I don't believe a properly functioning Lear can dive that steeply. I have never flown in a Lear jet but I have flown in lots of private jets.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

They think it's their personal piggy bank.

I wonder what the kickback rate is.


So about 300 plus in Congress voted for it (100 plus reds).

They need to be voted out ASAP.

They said the jet was only airborne for 50 seconds. I'm imagining an arc.
