Idk but I can tell you their teeth probably weren’t as nice as AI thinks they were.

Jokes aside, really cool project by the guy putting these together.

What do you think our infrastructure is such garbage?

Probably meant to be rhetorical, but imo, low-bid public contracts often result in less quality (not an issue with some federal stuff as much of it is "best interest of the government" and not lowest-price only), low life-expectancy design to keep initial costs down, and very poor maintenance and upkeep.

es as I said. External Revenue through tariffs is the best plan proposed so far

---

Problem with that is we would have even less revenue: spending. Based on the tariff's ceiling, which is imported goods, we won't make enough.

We import about 4 Trillion USD in goods per year, so even at 25% tariffs, that's about 1T dollars.

Currently, individual income tax is a little over 2T per year (2x what 25% tariffs on all imported goods could bring in). Even with that amount of income tax, we're 1.7T short annually. So, alone, swapping income tax for tariffs won't fix things; it would actually increase the deficit.

If the admin. is trying to get to even to pay down or restructure some debt at a lower interest rate (which is why I think Trump is okay hurting the economy short term--forcing the fed into lower rates), they likely need both tariff and income tax revenue, unless they go crazy like 100% tariffs on all goods, which would also likely dramatically decrease the amount of imports (shoot self in foot).

ETA: govt. spending has gone up at a faster rate than revenue over the last 10 years for sure (Going from memory--maybe like 4ish to 5ish on the revenue side and 5ish to almost 7 on the spending side), so Trump did not inherit an easy problem.

ETA2: Obviously other side of the coin is spending has to come down. Also not easy, even with the bulldozer approach they're attempting, but gotta do something imo.
