“A 25% tariff would balance the budget year over year.” You cannot follow your own remarks to their mathematical conclusion. Let me help you win the math. Revenue - Spending = $0 is a balanced budget. See when you say “balance” you have included both sides. Spending is not a separate issue.
But let’s agree I am confused. Now explain how additional revenue will balance the budget.
The federal budget deficit averaged around $600B over the last 20 years - give or take. It’s simple math. The USA imports around $2.4T annually and a 25% tariff would generate $600B. Which is equal to that average budget deficit.
