Core Points - The U.S. Treasury Secretary's claim of $300 billion in tariff revenue is misleading, as actual revenue has only reached $100 billion by July, requiring an unrealistic daily collection of $13 billion over the next five months [2][7] - The "see-saw effect" of tariffs leads to reduced imports or increased prices, significantly impacting revenue from tariffs, as seen with U.S. soybean exports to China plummeting from 22 million tons to 3 million tons [4][6] - The "Laffer Curve" indicates that tax revenues can decrease if rates exceed a certain threshold, which the Trump administration underestimated, expecting $600 billion from tariffs but potentially receiving only $280 billion [6][19] Tariff Revenue Challenges - The projected $300 billion in tariff revenue is insufficient to cover the interest on the national debt, which exceeds $35 trillion, with interest payments alone expected to exceed $500 billion in the first half of 2025 [7][19] - Tariff revenues are eroding other tax sources, particularly affecting small businesses, leading to job losses and a potential decrease in personal and corporate tax revenues [9][19] Economic Impact - Tariffs are damaging the U.S.'s international credibility, with agricultural states facing political pressure and requiring government subsidies to offset losses from tariffs [11][19] - The Federal Reserve faces a dilemma between inflation pressures and recession risks, with rising service prices linked to tariffs and agricultural states showing signs of economic decline [12][14] Future Implications - The long-term effects of tariff policies are creating a "lose-lose" situation for the U.S., with rising unemployment in agricultural states and a wave of small business closures [19][21] - China's response includes diversifying supply chains and increasing domestic production, which may lead to a more resilient trade system, while U.S. companies are relocating production to Mexico and Southeast Asia [21][23] Conclusion - The tariff policy is likened to a fleeting spectacle, promising $300 billion in revenue but ultimately leading to significant economic damage, including the decline of agricultural states and small businesses [24][25]

Group 1: Core Aspects of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" - The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" is considered the most significant economic legislation during Trump's presidency, extending tax cuts from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) that were set to expire in 2025 [2][4] - The act primarily continues existing tax policies rather than introducing new substantial tax cuts, preventing a significant increase in personal income tax rates post-2025 [2][4] - The Republican Party traditionally advocates for tax cuts to stimulate economic growth, create jobs, and increase national income, based on the belief that lower taxes enhance corporate profitability and investment [2][4] Group 2: Fiscal Deficit and Government Debt Implications - The act is projected to add $3 trillion to $4 trillion in additional fiscal deficits over the next decade, exacerbating the already high government debt, which is expected to reach nearly $36 trillion by 2024 [6][10] - The U.S. federal government's fiscal deficit is anticipated to reach 6.6% of GDP in 2024, marking a historical high, with debt interest payments surpassing defense spending [6][9] - Economic studies suggest that the growth effects from tax cuts may not sufficiently offset the revenue losses, with estimates indicating that only about one-third of the revenue loss from tax cuts can be compensated through economic growth [5][6] Group 3: Income and Wealth Distribution Effects - The act is expected to provide $1 trillion in tax benefits to the wealthiest 1% of Americans over the next decade, while low-income individuals may suffer from reduced healthcare and government benefits [11][13] - This disparity in benefits is likely to exacerbate income and wealth inequality in the U.S., posing challenges to the political system [11][13] Group 4: Indirect Effects on China - In the short term, the act may benefit the Chinese economy by increasing U.S. demand for Chinese products as trade tensions ease, aiding China's transition from external to internal demand [14] - The act's cancellation of subsidies for renewable energy sectors may slow the development of the U.S. renewable energy industry, but its direct impact on China's electric vehicle sector is expected to be limited [14] Group 5: Broader Economic and Political Implications - The act introduces significant uncertainty regarding the sustainability of U.S. federal finances, with long-term economic growth effects remaining unclear [10][18] - The political dynamics surrounding the act's implementation and its impact on Trump's influence and authority are uncertain, as they will evolve with the economic and electoral landscape [17][18]

Group 1: Trump's Policy Logic - The logic behind Trump's policy is structured, focusing on increasing government revenue through tariffs, promoting manufacturing return, and adjusting tariffs based on industry rather than country [2][3] - The "Big and Beautiful" plan aims to reduce taxes and spending while raising the debt ceiling, with projected federal revenue loss of approximately $4 trillion over the next decade [3] - Deregulation is intended to stimulate the economy by removing banking regulations related to cryptocurrency and expediting government approval processes [3] Group 2: Market and Election Pressures - Market pressure plays a significant role in Trump's policy adjustments, particularly in response to movements in the U.S. Treasury market, with a tendency to ease policies when 10-year Treasury yields rise significantly [4][5] - Election pressures are also a factor, as economic downturns and inflation from tariff wars could negatively impact Trump's voter base, necessitating a softening of tariff policies [6] Group 3: U.S. Treasury Market Dynamics - High U.S. Treasury yields are unlikely to be sustained due to the Federal Reserve's current stance and the need for policy space amid economic uncertainties [8][9] - The long-term outlook suggests that U.S. Treasury yields may exceed nominal economic growth rates, which could suppress economic growth [9][10] - A new framework for long-term Treasury pricing is proposed, incorporating a sovereign risk premium to account for market concerns about U.S. debt [20][22] Group 4: Broader Economic Considerations - The U.S. is seeking new support for the dollar through high-tech exports and controlling supply chains, which may mitigate inflation domestically [23][24] - The U.S. Treasury's debt ceiling situation is critical, with current measures to manage liquidity potentially leading to a "fiscal window" before a new debt agreement is reached [25][26]
