Spending and income are related. Since you mentioned being a deficit hawk, I thought you would have understood that.

Spending and income are related.

In this case, federal spending, Congress doesn't care one wit about income. They set spending regardless of revenue projection. The two are completely decoupled.

Tariffs raise revenue and closes the deficit gap. All of you deficit hawks should be wildly in favor of them. Or continue to be hypocrites.
