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.
So my suspicions are correct: you are just a Bernie-bot. I admit that I was once a deficit hawk, but after democrats took surplusses in the late ‘90s and started talking about new federal spending, I became more practical.
A balanced-budget and an economy un-shackled from federal debt will never happen in my lifetime. We may as well enjoy lower taxes until the house of cards collapses. Then, the looters can destroy themselves, and the thinkers can work for themselves again.
