BTW, in your second paragraph I think you meant to type Medicaid recipients rather than Medicare.

"Mostly Trump said take it or leave it, because the cash flow from tariffs is now needed to plug holes in the federal budget left by his budget bill. Ninety deals in 90 days have now turned into pieces of paper highlighting other countries' supposed victimization of the US."

AT LAST, a clear and unambiguous statement of the true and actual purpose for all of the tariffs the president is imposing on imported goods. The tariff payments, imposed on U.S. importers (and NOT paid by the country exporting the goods) go directly to the U.S. Treasury. The U.S. consumer is left with higher prices on anything imported to reimburse the businesses that had to pay import fees/taxes/tariffs - all three words mean exactly the same thing.
