Trump has lodged an appeal with the Supreme Court, but a decision is unlikely before next year. Unless he can get a stay on the lower court&#8217;s ruling, Treasury will be forced to fund the billions of dollars in tariffs collected.<\/p>\n<p>While some believe that overturning the tariffs would cause a blowout in the fiscal deficit, we believe that the promise of a boost in revenue from tariffs was more spin than substance. There are no free lunches in economics; when something looks too good to be true, it usually is. Most of the cost of tariffs is currently borne by US corporations, but will likely be pushed onto consumers through price increases over the next year.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.incrediblecharts.com\/images\/2025\/2025-08-12-gs-tariffs.jpg?resize=525%2C285&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Goldman Sachs: Estimated Incidence of Tariff Costs\" width=\"525\" height=\"285\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Where corporations do not pass on tariffs to customers, their profits and corporate tax paid to the Treasury will decline. Falling profits also hurt stock prices, reducing capital gains taxes.
