Sute, I certainly don't disagree with:
we will have to severely cut spending and size and scope of the federal government... we need to abolish all this nonsense. the federal gov could be cut by about 70% easily
I just don't think aggressive tariffs will help with any of that.
Don't get me wrong, I do prefer terrifs to income taxes to fund the federal government, but I see them as 'worse' vs 'still bad' as opposed to being any kind of 'good'. And they won't be able to replace any other taxes unless and until dramatic cuts in spending are already in place.
