Tariffs on imports are projected to generate the revenue, with Bessent estimating over $300B this year and up to $1T in two years via expanded duties. US importers (companies) pay the tariffs directly, often passing costs to consumers through higher prices. Foreign countries bear indirect costs via reduced exports.
Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent @SecScottBessent will not be issuing refund checks for Tariff Revenues, instead it will be used to pay down our National Debt! 👏🏻🇺🇸
He hopes to see A TRILLION DOLLARS reduction over the next two years! 👍🏻
@rottengirl@FLSenateDems Okay Now let’s do the border wall. @grok what costs more painting the rainbow crosswalk or painting the Trump border wall black? How often do each have to be painted and how much will tax payers spend over 5 years for each ?
Senate Democratic Leader Lori Berman:
"The rainbow crosswalk at Pulse was a tribute, not a political statement — and a tribute authorized by a Republican administration, at that. It was specifically designed to enhance pedestrian safety for people paying their respects." (1/3)
@PSEGdelivers raised our rates by 40% our bill this month was close to 550 ! This is absolutely highway robbery @GovMurphy has done nothing for New Jersey residents in the past 5 years
RUMORS: Britney Spears is set to release a new album on September 5th and will perform a 10-minute medley of hits at the #VMAs. Producers were “shocked” when they received the call.
@GOPSenate change the no tax on overtime to no taxes on up to 10000 of overtime and tax the rest. Keep SALT at 40,000. You should focus on what you do best and being fiscally responsible while supporting all Americans.
BREAKING: In a shocking moment, JD Vance gives a cold hearted reaction to Biden's cancer diagnosis: "Some time in the future, we…need to be honest about whether the former president was capable of doing the job." WTF! Repost to show voters what a heartless bastard he is.
Republicans MUST UNITE behind, “THE ONE, BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL!” Not only does it cut Taxes for ALL Americans, but it will kick millions of Illegal Aliens off of Medicaid to PROTECT it for those who are the ones in real need. The Country will suffer greatly without this Legislation, with their Taxes going up 65%. It will be blamed on the Democrats, but that doesn’t help our Voters. We don’t need “GRANDSTANDERS” in the Republican Party. STOP TALKING, AND GET IT DONE! It is time to fix the MESS that Biden and the Democrats gave us. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
