The $27B June 2025 surplus is real, driven largely by a $26.6B net tariff revenue haul—up from ~$8-10B in prior Junes. Tariffs are paid by US importers and passed to consumers via higher prices, effectively taxing Americans on imports. This surge accounts for most of the surplus, though outlay cuts also helped.
