That is really cool. I did not realize that the money in the U.S. Treasury was our money. Wish Bessent and Trump would send us some!
Call it a tax, the people are outraged! Call it a tariff, the people get out their checkbooks and wave their American flags!!!
So the illegals were stealing jobs we did not need anyway?

Tariffs don't raise prices for consumers, right?
That's what everyone has been telling us
but removing tariffs will lower prices for consumers?
Trump's quick fix for beef prices:
Trump says he will cut price of ground beef by 25% with deal to import foreign meat
https://notthebee.com/article/trump-says-he-will-cut-price-of-ground-beef-by-25-with-deal-to-import-foreign-meat
As this writer indicates, there is a better long term solution available: deregulation. And it's available for many areas of the economy, not only beef. Even better, eliminate many of the regulatory agencies that create these costly (& arguably unconstitutional) rules.

Trump: We have the greatest economy in our history. Now some people haven't seen it yet, but they will because the job numbers are so good. I should be at 100% on the economy. pic.twitter.com/6RzJL01ACL

Trump terrible business practices are now stealing the highest beef prices ever and out sourcing over our Mercan Ranchers. Anyone see the irony?

When we weren't at war under Trump, that week and a half was great...
Fewer people applied for U.S. unemployment benefits last week, another sign that layoffs remain low and that most Americans enjoy job security. https://t.co/IpYzLpeDyY

President Trump is now threatening that the US Military could be utilized for further intervention to lower US Treasury yields.
"The ultimate intervention is our military, and if we have to use that we will."

Do you prefer I post from outlets that are never critical of Trump?

"Rents are declining primarily in fast-growing Sun Belt and interior Western metropolitan areas"
Austin-Round Rock, Texas: Down roughly 6.6% to 7.1% year-over-year, seeing some of the sharpest corrections from its pandemic peak.
Denver-Aurora, Colorado: Down about 4.8% to 5.4% compared to the previous year.
Phoenix-Mesa, Arizona: Down about 4.0% to 4.4% from the prior year.
Las Vegas, Nevada: Down about 3.0% year-over-year
Jacksonville and Miami, Florida: Experiencing downward adjustments between 2.7% and 4.2%
The logic of build more housing and deport illegals....seems to work

rents flat, but maybe softening. With rates up, gets challenging.
Little man really getting the squeeze right now. What's the breaking point?
BREAKING: American wages have fallen to 43% of national income, the lowest since the Great Depression.
For every $1 the US economy produces, workers are getting less of it than at any point since 1929.
The rest is going to corporate profits, which are now at an all time high.
This is why the economy keeps growing but most Americans feel poorer. GDP goes up, wages go up in dollar terms, but workers are getting a smaller and smaller slice of what they actually produce.
Asset prices keep rising for the same reason.
Money that used to go to wages is now going to shareholders instead, and shareholders put it into stocks, real estate and other assets.

Trump raised $364 billion (+$277B Y/Y) in revenue from tariffs and duties by the end of 2025 (says Q4 but its annualized), and deficit hawks never hated him more for that.
