In an article by Richard Blakley, Senator Chuck Schumer is criticized for his comments on President Trump's tariff approach to addressing the national debt crisis. The author highlights Schumer's long tenure and the dramatic increase in the national debt during his time in office.
• Schumer described Trump's tariff idea as harmful and nonsensical while Blakley argues the opposite.
• Schumer has been in the Senate since 1999 and led the Democrat caucus and was majority leader, yet the U. S. national debt has drastically increased from a $126 billion surplus in 1999 to $36. 68 trillion in 2025.
• Blakley questions whom Schumer represents, given the large national debt burden on citizens ($107,244 per person and $323,048 per taxpayer).
• The author expresses frustration that senators cannot be removed from office and suggests starting with their salaries to address the debt crisis.
• The vast debt is illustrated with comparisons, like how it could make 36 million people millionaires.
• In just a decade, the national debt has doubled from $18 trillion to $36 trillion. Interest payments exceeded military spending for the first time.
• The potential risks of ignoring the debt are highlighted, such as increased interest rates leading to a recession.
• Blakley emphasizes that reducing the deficit requires either increasing revenues or decreasing spending. He claims Trump’s tariffs aim to balance trade and prevent tax hikes.
• The author compares current politicians to those ignoring crisis, suggesting they continue to engage in frivolous behavior as the country faces severe fiscal challenges.
Blakley concludes that Schumer and his party's actions are detrimental to the country, suggesting that Trump’s approaches, despite criticism, are efforts to rectify the severe debt situation. He asserts that Schumer "makes no sense" in his leadership, noting the burden of debt on the American people.
