==Interpreting [[propaganda]] 102==

The Right Scoop, is often a pretty source for timely information, also has a track record of errors and misinterpretations. Today for examplke:
 +
:''"Bessent admitted today that his previous reporting on how much he thought tariffs would '''bring into the country...''''' [https://therightscoop.com/breaking-video-scott-bessent-reveals-the-whopping-amount-of-money-tariffs-are-bringing-in/]
 +
This is glaringly in error. It should '''Bring into the Treasury''' or '''bring to the [[government]]'''"
 +
 +
[[Tariffs]] are paid by the '''[[import]]er''', '''not''' by the [[export]]ing country. Then passed on by wholesalers and retailers ultimately to the end [[consumer]]. The [[money]] '''''does not''''' cone "into the country" from outside. It is rechanneled from consumers to the [[US government]]. It is in effect a sales tax.
