General Discussion

Those funds, though they only represent 2% of federal revenue are their continuing sales pitch.
"Refunds to Americans", "Money for vets", "Lower taxes for the middle class", "Paying down the debt" were all promised from the debt.
It doesn't matter that none of that is possible with the amounts collected, but if that revenue ends up being refunded, there is nothing to sell.
The whole point was to sell a dumb idea, but if the collections drop to negligible, the whole sales pitch falls flat.
He's nothing more than a carnival barker & if there's no show he's got nothing.
