6:41Now PlayingFormer Congressman and libertarian thought leader Ron Paul recently criticized Donald Trump’s tariff policies, arguing that they function as another tax on American consumers and corporations rather than on foreign countries. He said tariffs might be tolerable if Trump were actually shrinking government as promised, but instead the federal government is expanding, racking up debt, and fueling deficits.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger highlight the disconnect between Trump’s campaign promises to “drain the swamp” and the reality of increased spending, including a ballooning Pentagon budget. They emphasize that taxpayers are footing the bill while oligarchs profit, pointing out that the money could instead be used to improve housing, schools, and social programs in American cities.
