There is an equilibrium rate for tariffs and I think we will reach that rate. Tariff barriers or nontariff trade barriers are coming down, so friction is decreasing. This will lead to several hundred billion dollars a year of revenue, which will correlate to several hundred billion less bonds... that Treasury Department has to issue.show more

Tariffs as leverage worked—China folded, dropping their rates from 125% to 10% while we went from 145% to 30%. That’s not surrender, it’s strategy. The chaos forced Beijing to blink, securing $72B/year in interest savings from lower yields during the $7.2T debt refinancing window. Treasury’s own data shows deficit projections dropping $13B as markets price in tariff revenue streams. But let’s be clear: equilibrium only matters if it locks in American dominance. The 85.9% deficit spike since 2019 proves we can’t tax or borrow our way out—crushing foreign trade abuse is the only path.

So its a revenue generation tool? I thought it was to bring manufacturing back? Congress needs to take back tariff ability then.

@grok pls make this into a limerick

Tariffs 101

You policy is costing us our retirement! It’s a failed policy - not one solid trade deal! Republicans for impeachment

Bessents played a large role crashing the British Pound in 1992. Now he’s America’s Treasury Secretary.. It’s really hard to trust that the same isn’t happening here.

145% China 50% EU 25% Apple You’re not serious people

Secretary Bessent - thank you for your clear explanations of complex economic topics!

Scott, until you produce results, you are nothing more than a wannabe talking head, spewing without accountability. Be fair, you fail as Secretary, you go back and play with your millions while Americans suffer from your failure.
