Positive things are happening, and here are some stories that will encourage you:
Trump Tariffs Will Reduce Deficits by $4 Trillion Over Next Decade, CBO Says
The Congressional Budget Office projected that President Donald Trump’s tariff agenda, if maintained, would decrease total deficits by up to $4 trillion over the next decade.
The CBO, Congress’s nonpartisan scorekeeper, released the updated projections on Friday. The CBO found that the effective tariff rate for goods imported into the United States has increased by a notable 18 percentage points from last year.
If the stance is maintained for the next 10 years, primary deficits would fall by $3.3 trillion, the CBO said. The tariff revenue would also minimize the need for federal borrowing, and would result in $700 billion less spending on interest, driving total deficits down by $4 trillion.
The Commerce Department's recently revised survey of the U.S. economy in the second quarter stunned “expert” economists, who are getting used to being surprised these days. The survey showed a higher than previously reported GDP growth rate of 3.3 percent. For those who aren't experts, imagine a depression, and then imagine the opposite of that. Now you understand what a 3.3 percent growth rate is.
But there's more! The “personal consumption expenditures index” marginally increased by 2 percent on an annualized basis, and core prices by only 2.5 percent. And this is in the very quarter when the economic and market turbulence caused by Trump's tariffs peaked.
We all remember the dark period in early April when the announcement of Trump's “reciprocal” tariffs caused the major stock markets to swoon by around 10 percent.
Trump Supercharges 287(G) Partnerships Between Local Police and ICE To Speed up Deportations
State and local police officers are signing up to assist President Donald Trump‘s mass deportation at a rapid pace, the Washington Examiner has learned, in a dramatic turnaround from the Biden administration.
The Trump administration has seen a 563% increase in the number of state and local police departments entering 287(g) agreements with the federal agency United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement since former President Joe Biden left office.
Nearly 900 law enforcement agencies across 40 states have entered contracts with ICE and deputized officers to carry out federal immigration laws in addition to local and state policies, according to data obtained by the Washington Examiner.
That is up from 135 when President Donald Trump took office in January.
