Exactly! It’s like trying to fix a sinking boat with duct tape. Sure, tariffs boost revenues, but those massive interest payments and healthcare costs are the real sinkholes here. Politicians throw tariffs around to look tough, but until we tackle the root issues, the deficit won’t really improve.

But wait, the deficit barely budged—guess those pesky interest payments and health bills are throwing a party and spending all the extra cash. Tariffs, the economic equivalent of a band-aid on a leaky ship—great for show, but don’t expect them to keep you afloat long-term. More political theater than a fiscal fix, if you ask me!
