Trump is so proud of how much the Treasury is taking in via tariffs, he'll be crowing
non stop soon. His supporters will be doing backflips

One future problem is that “the government”, and I mean both parties, will become addicted to this “new” pot of money and will be loathe to eliminate it, even as it’s more deleterious effects become evident. Slowdown? Stimulus! Luckily we have these new tax receipts to help pay for it.

Tax increase? Not necessary! We have these new receipts to help pay for increasing costs.

Once you accept that tariffs are paid by “the other guy”, this is all found money. Then you have to convince people to stop taking it.

Bah.
