Trump tariffs cost $1.4 billion per month

Those tariffs are costing American businesses and consumers $1.4 billion per month according to a coalition of more than 100 business groups, and they want voters to know it, reports Reuters. The group, called Tariffs in the Heartland, did state break down of the numbers and found tariff costs tripled in Michigan, for instance, while doubling in states like Illinois, Texas, and Virginia.

YOU DO REALIZE THAT TARIFFS ARE INCOME FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT (I.E. TAXES).

THAT IS MONEY THAT CAN GO PAY FOR OBAMACARE'S LAST YEAR!!! OR ANY NUMBER OF OTHER THINGS, RIGHT? EVEN A SUBSIDY FOR FARMERS.

SO TAX BREAKS ON ONE HAND AND TAX INCREASES ON ANOTHER TO MODIFY BEHAVIOR. A TYPICAL LEFTIST THING TO DO.

Obama never levied irrational tariffs that COST us $1.4 billion/month. Only an ignoramus like Trump would do that.....and he did.
Lessee, you were against the tax breaks, right? So what are tarriffs? taxes. Now you are against the taxes.

So when do you decide to start making sense? Because up till now your whole MO is, if Trump did it, it must be wrong. Never mind that you 100% contradict yourself.

Why would you be for lopsided tax cuts that increase the deficit....and the debt?
Why would you support irrational tariffs that cost business and individual citizens $1.4 billion/month?

Genius, the tax breaks were on income taxes, the tarriffs are against trade imbalances... apples and oranges; but my point was simple; the tarriffs offset the tax breaks, the deficit isn't exploding.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and predict that Trump's 4-year deficit(s) will hit the average of Obama's (2) 4-year deficits.
