More Winning! Revenues Up, Deficits Down Under Trump
I & I Editorial Board
June 11, 2025
The first five months of the Trump administration have seen Democrat and media opponents completely lose their minds. When not screeching about threats to Democracy, they’ve been howling about massive spending cuts, warning about runaway inflation, and predicting a collapse in tax revenues.
Not one of these is coming to pass.
The latest monthly spending and revenue data from the Treasury Department. shows that from February through May of this year, federal spending was $37 billion higher than those same months last year.
Got that? Higher.
Tax revenues, which we were told by “experts” were going to collapse thanks to President Donald Trump’s attacks on the IRS, are $182 billion higher than they were the year before.
As a result, the federal deficit over these four months is $145 billion smaller than it was in the same four months when Joe Biden’s autopen was calling the shots.
Oh, and did we mention that inflation, which Trump’s tariffs were supposed to ignite, has once again come in “below expectations.”
