I have heard many people repeating the line "government had more money than it knew what to do with" as if that is a great thing. It isn't. Government should have just enough money given voluntarily by the governed. You won't remain free for very long if your government has the right to take or make money. That especially includes tariffs, as it essentially dictates what Americans can/can't buy from outside of their borders. It's a blank check for central planners to pick and choose economic winners.

All government funding should be voluntarily without use of force. Tariffs are force.
