I think Massie is becoming a social media darling for being debt hawk. He wants the republicans to stop raising the debt ceiling that is it that is all. He’s showing the public how the bait and switch works. Even MAGA republicans are buying this idea that the tariffs will pay for everything and this isn’t a debt ceiling raise because it’s budget neutral after about 4 or 5 years. I call nonsense on this CR just like Massie. So now Trump is trying to get Massie out when he could be focusing on other NeoCons who just want more and more easy money.
It is literally impossible for the 'tariffs to pay for everything'. Tariffs are just taxes on Americans and Americans are broke enough as it is.
And if the tariffs 'reduce the number of imports' to 'increase manufacturing jobs' in the US... where will the taxes come from then? The taxes only get paid if people buy the imports. But if 'theyre not supposed to' and it's supposed to be 'made in the US' anyway...
How does it increase revenues?
