They'll still figure a way to bitch about it. He should tell them that if they want more they must bend the knee and swear allegiance to their king.

He’s doing this so SCOTUS has yet another reason to rule in favor of tariffs.

Real man of genius.

I kind of love this. But he should have taken this opportunity to remove the entire Little Debbie Aisle from food stamps.

We should not be subsidizing people feeding their kids Hot Cheetos for breakfast. That is not subsidizing nutrition- that’s subsidizing diebetus

Why is he using money that is due to taxpayers to fund a program actual taxpayers aren’t on?

the tariffs are suppose to decrease the burden of income taxes, not just fund bullshite that non tax paying idiots feast on.

Because WIC is more focused on the actual nutritional needs of prenatal women and early childhood development. It is supposed to be limited to foods of nutritional value to prevent the malnourishment of children in critical stages of development (hopefully keeping them from becoming future wards of the state due to stunted development.)

It's a government program so it still sucks and probably is rife with fraud, but if you don't want irresponsible women to murder unborn children, you do have to keep them from starving before and after they're born.

Why do people think paying taxes in the form of tariffs are so much better than paying taxes in the form of income taxes?

Why?

Why does everyone cheer about not using money that was collected from American citizens one way to fund SNAP, but simultaneously cheer about using money that was collected from American citizens another way to pay for SNAP?

Do y'all not apply any logic to Trump at all? It's Trump, so logic is off the table?

I did not vote for welfare (WIC/SNAP) to continue.

And he shouldn't be. That does nothing but bail out the useless fricking Congress.

Choice. I can choose to not pay "taxes" with tariffs by buying domestic. It's also a consumption tax. You spend more, you pay more. I don't get that option with income taxes. I literally get punished for working more or by just being successful.

Plus, you pay the same tariff regardless of your income. No more is half the country not contributing. You can't get more in EIC than you paid in taxes.

If all tariffs are paid by the importers, it removes the need for individual tax returns and much of the IRS. That's smaller government.

Tariffs are simply a better system. Our Founders used tariffs. Our current leaders want more of your income. Which group is more likely to have the nation's best interest at heart?

one is voluntary (to a large degree) in the choices you voluntarily make - the other is robbery, with additional penalties for resisting.

- Trump tries to fire Fed workers: Judges stop him from it based on tCongress having authorized funds.

- Judges block tarrifs calling it executive overreach, and don't see the irony

then.......

- Judges order Trump to use tariff revenue to pay for item tCongress hasn't reauthorized.
