  • Self-harm

    According to a report by the website of NPR, data compiled by the Bipartisan Policy Center from the US Department of the Treasury shows that in the first five months of this year, federal revenue from tariffs and excise taxes increased by 78 percent compared to the same period last year, with most of the additional revenue collected in April and May. Although this may appear to reflect the success of the Trump administration's tariff policies in supposedly “making America more prosperous,” the reality is that the increased tariff revenue has not been paid by foreign countries, but has come out of the pockets of American businesses and consumers.
