I thought this was fitting

What are you implying with that, some sort of trade deal?

[xuenchen]

When is a trade deal not really a deal?

So who and what credibly verified what who said?

See below.... We could pay 80-90% of our yearly Defense budget alone, even if the totals are half that much.

How is this not a good thing for Uncle Sam and all his nieces and nephews?

"The tariff revenues are amazing — $700 billion a year. That's just net new money the government never had before. You take that for ten years, that's $7 trillion."

Its just a shift in how we pay taxes, and how much each tax bracket pays. All based on which items have the highest tariffs.

It is also the reason inflation has continued to climb.

"Net new money" means what exactly?

What do you mean it shifts how we pay taxes?  explain it like Im Ice T



Our grocery prices are up 2-3 % at most

There are charts from the CPI, since January CPI is up 4.0, in 2021 and 2022 we saw 10-14 point increases
and we aren't seeing loads of consumer price increases; gas prices are down, which should offset some tariff expense concerns too

[IDELB2006]

Inflation was up 2.7% in june compared to last year, that's including food and energy. Its up 2.9% without food and energy.

That increase is mainly due to tariffs. Whoever is in charge of tariffs can set a different tariff rate item by item. Much like Trump is currently doing. That's his prerogative, and could be high based on sectors he wants America to grow jobs. Or maybe a bit lower in the tech sector for certain electronics, based on the tech bros political donations.

They could just as easily be set higher an the plastic garbage us peons buy, because we are not smart enough to realize the added tariff we are paying is offsetting the tax breaks for the rich.

And just like that, we have "net new money". Like its free, just falling from the sky.

Trump reaches agreement with E.U. to impose 15% tariff, with some exceptions

President Donald Trump on Sunday announced a trade agreement with the European Union that would set tariffs at 15%, ending what had been months of uncertainty surrounding trade with the United States’ largest trade partner.
 
The tariff rate is a reduction from the 30% that Trump threatened on July 12 and the 20% he said he would impose on April 2.
 
Announcing the agreement, Trump said the E.U. will not impose a tariff on U.S. imports. He added this agreement was “satisfactory to both sides.”

That Broad European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen always reminds people of that X Files U.N. Syndicate Lady "Marita Covarrubias"

Again, 2.9% is nothing 10 bucks on 350 bucks worth of groceries..... 

While I realize it doesn't apply to everybody, for my region, gasoline prices are down, offsetting losses in our groceries 

Furthermore, all indications are that these fluctuations were due to uncertainty in the market, which will be abated as more and more trade deals are signed 

Lets see how the markets react to this news 

EU is being announced as agreed upon by Trump

The X post by Senator Katie Boyd Britt praises President Trump for a significant trade deal with the European Union, announced on July 27, 2025, which includes the EU agreeing to purchase $750 billion worth of U.S. energy and invest an additional $600 billion in the U.S., marking a historic shift in U.S.-EU trade relations and emphasizing Trump's "America First" policy.

okay well 15% is fine as long as there's no pressure for eu to reduce their food quality regulations i don't mind paying 15% extra to avoid american antibiotic-laden pus-cheese and glypho-grain flour. sucks that we have to pay extra and ship stuff in from halfway across the world just to get edible food, but whatcha gonna do? although i understand american pharma is working on another pill to help people cope with being poisoned all the time, haha.
