Do Americans Really Pay 96% of the Tariffs?

The Congressional Budget Office has revised its estimates and states that the tariff increases implemented from January 6, 2025, to November 15, 2025, will reduce the primary deficit of the United States by $2.5 trillion over 11 years if they remain in place during the 2025–2035 period. Tariff revenues have risen to $90 billion between October and December 2025, compared with $20 billion in the same period in 2024. However, year-over-year inflation during that period is actually lower.

Inflation in the United States has not surged to 5–6%, as some investment banks had predicted following the tariff announcements. In fact, the year-over-year CPI, the PCE Index, and import prices reported by customs and border offices show no discernible increase in year-over-year inflation and are certainly very far away from the consensus estimates.

La irresistible propuesta de Montero para Andalucía: expoliar a los andaluces para financiar el independentismo

El PSOE se enfrenta a las próximas elecciones autonómicas con la tarea imposible de intentar hacer tragar a los ciudadanos la rueda de molino de su acuerdo de privilegios para la burocracia de Cataluña con Esquerra. 

La irresistible propuesta de Montero para Andalucía: expoliar a los andaluces para financiar el independentismo

Montero se presenta a las elecciones andaluzas con un programa “irresistible”:expoliar a impuestos a los andaluces, endeudarlos y que la Generalitat de Catalunya sea la más privilegiada, además de dictar desde Barcelona la fiscalidad de los ciudadanos de Andalucía.

El PSOE afirma que todas las comunidades ganan con un modelo que dota de 21.000 millones adicionales a las autonomías. Sin embargo, es falso. No se dotan más recursos a las autonomías, se endeuda todavía más al país.

El socialismo ofrece un espejismo de recursos públicos que solo es más deuda mientras impone una fiscalidad confiscatoria a medida del independentismo depredador.

How Maduro, Cuba and their allies stole Venezuela’s oil wealth.

All freedom defenders must welcome Maduro’s arrest as the beginning of a democratic transition process in Venezuela. The economic and political debate often ignores that the Maduro dictatorship weaponised the national oil company to use it as a cash machine to enrich the leaders of the socialist regime and finance the demolition of democratic institutions all over Latin America, creating an international group of allies with the main objective of demolishing US, European, and Latin American democracies from the inside.

Some commentators remove from the economic debate the deliberate collapse of PDVSA, Venezuela’s institutional destruction, and the use of oil as an international political weapon as well as a tool for the personal enrichment of Maduro and his allies. Maduro’s personal wealth is estimated at $3.8 billion. $700 million in assets has already been seized.

The U.S. Economy Is Stronger After One Year of Trump Administration

One year into Donald Trump’s new presidency, the verdict from the data is clear: the apocalyptic consensus forecasts have failed, and the United States stands as the only major developed economy combining strong growth, controlled inflation and fiscal consolidation.

The same analysts and institutions that applauded massive stimulus, monetary excess and regulatory excess under the previous The same analysts and institutions that applauded massive stimulus, monetary excess, and regulatory excess under the previous administration now struggle to explain why the U.S. economy, which they expected to sink into stagflation, is instead outperforming all of its G7 peers. Furthermore, the U.S. peers that followed net-zero, big government and big tax policies are in secular stagnation.
