house 09/04/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to create a Tariff Trust Fund that will use extra tariff revenues, when the government runs a deficit two years in a row, to help reduce the national debt. This ensures that tariff income beyond 2025 will directly support fiscal responsibility.

This FUNDamentally smart move forces Washington to tighten the belt without begging taxpayers for more.

Tariffs as a magic fix? Sounds like taxing working folks to pay for corporate bailouts.

Using tariff revenue to cut the deficit sounds neat—if only it didn’t hammer both businesses and shoppers.

If protecting American jobs means tariffs that fix our finances, I’m all for taxing foreign freeloaders.
