It is also not common for taxes or tariffs to be raised and there is abosolutely no reduction in other taxes or tariffs. The governmental maw must be fed. It is as bad as feeding Moloch, the always hungry. This is the reason the state grows under all conditions, good, bad or indifferent. It is also the reason the statists really hate **DOGE** and Musk, they lose their trough.

It's not uncommon for tax reforms to increase certain taxes and decrease others.
