This tariff bs, combined with Musk’s slash and burning of the federal government, is an unsubtle attempt to justify $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. They can project $600 billion in tariff revenue plus hundreds of billions in annual reductions in federal spending, and claim the tax cuts are paid for.

Meanwhile, the tax burden will be shifted through tariffs onto working class consumers, while cuts to social programs will further burden the working class and the poor.

Ultimately these policies will wreck the economy, exacerbate income and wealth inequality, and likely lead to war.

This lunacy needs to be stopped.
