Tariffs Boost Revenue but Crush Profits – No Real Growth Beneath the Surface

Subscribers, click here to download the report.

September’s Treasury data shows headline revenue strength masking a deeper slowdown. Withholding taxes remain in their normal cyclical range, but real growth is flat once wage inflation is factored in. Tariffs are propping up receipts even as they squeeze corporate profits and the deficit widens. Repo financing and basis trades continue to feed the rally. Consider that the bull market is supported by artificial financial engineering, not fundamental economic growth, or even conventional central bank money printing.  

This report shows you the real data, and shows why the consensus tends to be wrong, and suggests the best investment strategy for dealing with the narrative versus the hidden facts.
