Well, I already know that the premise is BS but I'll ask it anyway. If the US has gotten $17T in tariffs why wasn't the money used to reduce the national debt? I mean, $17T is just under half of the debt. Dropping it down from $38T to $21T would kick the US economy into overdrive. Reducing the debt by $17T would mean the the Treasury would not need to find approximately (let's see.3% of $17T is $510B) $510B to pay out in interest on the debt this year alone. Just one year of that savings would pay for expanding SS payments, cover the cost of Medicare/Medicaid, cover the total cost of the ACA subsidy and maybe have enough left over to even cover the ridiculous tax giveaway to the rich found in the "Big, Ugly, Disgusting Bill" that the Republicans pushed through in July.
