Trump’s Tariffs Are Making Money. That May Make Them Hard to Quit.

The New York Times reports:

President Trump’s extensive tariffs have already started to generate a significant amount of money for the federal government, a new source of revenue for a heavily indebted nation that American policymakers may start to rely on.

As part of his quest to reorder the global trading system, Mr. Trump has imposed steep tariffs on America’s trading partners, with the bulk of those set to go into effect on Aug. 7. Even before the latest tariffs kick in, revenue from taxes collected on imported goods has grown dramatically so far this year. Customs duties, along with some excise taxes, generated $152 billion through July, roughly double the $78 billion netted over the same time period last fiscal year, according to Treasury data.


It's very difficult for politicians to get up revenue.

North Carolina Democrat Opposed Democrats on Immigration : “All cultures are not equal.”

The Sacramento Bee reports:
“All cultures are not equal.” 

Those are the words that Rep. Carla Cunningham, a Mecklenburg County Democrat, said before breaking with her party to support an immigration enforcement bill on Tuesday.

Cunningham was the lone Democrat to help Republicans overturn the veto of House Bill 318 in a series of veto overrides. Her vote was not a surprise, given that she supported the bill when it originally passed the House in June. It was her comments before the vote that were more shocking.

“Some immigrants come and believe they can function in isolation, refusing to adapt,” she continued. “They have come to our country for many reasons, but I suggest they must assimilate, adapt to the culture of the country they wish to live in. No country is going to allow people to come in and not acknowledge its constitution, legal systems and laws. They will not tolerate it.”

Cunningham also said that she believed immigration today is “destabilizing our communities” and “a large number of people entering a country can change it forever.”

Democrat Carla Cunningham has not much of a future in the Democratic party.
