November brought a notable shift in U.S. fiscal health. The government's deficit dropped to $173 billion—down a staggering 53% from last year's $367 billion hole. That's a $193 billion improvement in just twelve months.

What's driving this? Import tariffs are pulling their weight, pumping up revenue streams and tightening the budget gap. Not something we see every quarter.

The key is how long the tariff can last; don't let it be a flash in the pan again.

Keywords: Tariff revenue, deficit reduction, fiscal improvement, trade policy Generated comments: tariff this wave really has some substance Wait, are these numbers real? Feels too exaggerated 233% improvement... relying solely on tariffs? Why do I find it hard to believe Deficit decreased by more than 50 points, is this crazy or what Can import tariffs be sustained? Anyway, I remain skeptical

This move with tariffs is truly unbeatable, even more powerful than expected.

Are tariffs really effective? These numbers seem a bit too good to be true.
