President Trump's tariffs became very real for importers last month as the government collected more than $17.4 billion in "Customs and Certain Excise Taxes" during April.

That was nearly double March's haul of $9.6 billion, dwarfing the smaller spikes in revenue seen during Trump's first term.

All told, the duties have deposited more than $70 billion into government coffers since Jan. 1.

These dudes are on your mind way too much for you to be a straight male. You can't go five minutes without mentioning them.

I wonder what happens to this money. Does it get distributed to the states? Go against the national debt?

Not to mention it's not enough to move the needle at all on income taxes

So now that we have some real numbers to work with we can confidently put the stupid notion that tariffs are going to eliminate income taxes to rest

It was always a stupid pipe dream and only parroted by the biggest of morons

You do realize we raised that much even with a 90 day pause on most tariffs?

Seeing how obsessed with Trump the left is, i guess that means no one on the left is attracted to women...

You are going to embarrass yourself if you mean to argue that tariffs can replace income tax.

Actually, 173 years. But this is not happening in a vacuum. Let DOGE continue to work. Get rid of the illegals. Completely get rid of USAID. Add manufacturing back to this country.

This is a MUCH better path than we have been on for decades.

Its amazing that your opinion is so certain....
This in itself demonstrates that you really have nothing to support your opinion that your personal feelings towards Trump. Trump continues to win and be a wrecking ball to your Marxist ideas.
Your a totally dishonest person and can't be taken seriously. You are a typical Marxist Dem, running on nothing more rhan your emotions, like a female.

But you left out something

The trillion dollars that will be saved on waste and fraud. How convenient you magically forgot about this
