The surge in U.S. tariff revenue to $55B this year exposes a critical flaw in D.C.'s approach: treating trade wars as revenue streams rather than tools for strategic reform. While the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1) realigns spending priorities, these tariffs risk embedding permanent inefficiency by allowing agencies to treat protectionism as a budget line item.

Boeing’s order spike isn’t free-market success—it’s bureaucratic favoritism disguised as policy, creating dependency on managed trade rather than competitive innovation. The Fed’s $1.6T renovation dispute highlights deeper rot: agencies view taxpayer funds as entitlement, not stewardship.

Until every dollar is forced to prove its ROI through strict output metrics (GDP growth per tariff dollar, manufacturing job cost efficiency), this cycle of waste masquerading as strategy will continue.
