Can we drink? Unexpected?
Unexpected except by Trump it’s why it happened.
What was the word the Media used for Obama over and over? Unprecedented? For Trump it’s unexpected.
Quarterly Income Tax payments were due on June 16.
I believe it was stated many times....that our government survived in the early years via tariffs.
Unexpected!
So the Debt clock has stopped going up for a month?
“Unexpected” by the always wrong experts.
To the Drive-By Media creepozoids, ANY good news is “unexpected.”
Our greedy incompetent Senators are already tacking on extra spending and eliminating DOGE cuts to the BBB….
More money for You-Kraine. More money for Me-Kraine donors and lobbyists!
Look everybody! A surplus! Spend spend spend!
Tariff revenues were up $4 billion from May to June.
Total receipts were up $155 billion from May to June.
Total expenditures were down $187 billion from May to June.
(You can get all these numbers by a simple search for US Treasury monthly receipts and expenditures.)
And you’re celebrating how tariff revenues can replace the income tax.
Undoubtedly, every $4 billion helps a little bit, emphasis on “little.”
Meanwhile, June estimated tax payments were undoubtedly a factor. Here are some more interesting numbers:
Recent months that showed a net surplus: April 2023, April 2024, September 2024 (another month when estimated tax is due), April 2025
June receipts less May receipts 2024 = 143B
June receipts less May receipts 2023 = 111B
June receipts less May receipts 2022 = 70B (all these are rough)
Do we see a pattern here? And, btw, the interesting fact is not that receipts went up, but that expenditures went way, way down, from May to June. That’s where attention should be.
