【The Truth About the Tariff Storm: Who's Paying the Bill for 600 Billion?】
The seemingly glorious tariff revenue actually paints a very different picture💸
📊 How exactly are the accounts calculated? • Official disclosure: Only 236.2 billion collected in the first 11 months of 2025 • What is that "600 billion"? A pile of expected values for future years, with even the finance minister admitting that the growth rate will decline year by year
Who is bleeding? Looking closely at these data points is frightening🔥 1️⃣ Ordinary consumers are directly hit—33% of increased corporate costs are passed directly onto your shopping cart 2️⃣ The global trade system is adjusting—The World Trade Organization is urgently revising economic growth forecasts downward 3️⃣ US GDP could be cut by 2.1%—From Wall Street to CEOs everywhere are crunching numbers and losing sleep
And there's a ticking time bomb⏰ The Supreme Court's ruling is about to be implemented. If the current policy is overturned: → Potentially hundreds of billions in taxes will have to be paid back → The entire tariff system could instantly become invalid
In plain terms: this is not an economic growth engine at all, but rather a nationwide consumer transfer game. Every bill is paying for this policy experiment.

nah the real opportunity cost is always buried in footnotes, innit... 2362B vs 6B projected is classic basis point gymnastics. consumers eating 33% pass-through while institutions short the volatility—textbook value extraction playbook

Here comes another round of cutting leeks, this time even consumers can't escape.
Consumers are directly hit with a 33% loss. Who designed this policy?
Really, with the Supreme Court's ruling, the entire system might collapse, and then it'll be showtime.
Relying on a 600 billion expected value—who are these numbers fooling?
I think, tariffs are just cutting retail investors' losses; big capital has already run away.
Shopping cart prices are going up again, truly despairing.

It's the same old trick again, making money off us consumers and stuffing it into their own pockets. Truly despicable.

Damn, this ledger is more bizarre than my position fluctuations. 236.2 billion is written clearly, so how did 600 billion turn into a pile of expected values? Laughing to death, this operation feels just like when I was long VIRTUAL and got trapped.

It's the same old trick again, with numbers one after another. All the real bills are in our wallet.

It's the same old paper数字 game again; the real chives are still us consumers.
