President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tBiXMMTdrM&amp;t=13s">said</a> that revenue from tariffs could potentially eliminate the need for the federal income tax, citing the period from 1870 to 1913 when tariffs were the primary source of federal income and the nation experienced significant prosperity.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Record Revenue Meets Real-World Roadblocks</h2>
That claim to Fox News comes as U.S. customs duties surged to a historic high in April. The<a href="https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/files/reports-statements/mts/mts0425.pdf"> Treasury Department </a>reported collecting a record $16.3 billion in customs duties—driven by steep new tariffs—marking the highest single-month total ever recorded.
April&#8217;s spike followed the rollout of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44237846/trump-proposes-special-a-gold-card-for-wealthy-immigrants-that-costs-5-million-says-selling-enou">Trump&#8217;s</a> newly enacted tariffs, including a 25% steel tariff and a sweeping 10% universal tariff that went into effect on April 2.

Still, the broader financial picture tells a different story. As of March, The Treasury has already reached the current debt limit of $36.1 trillion, according to<a href="https://www.cbo.gov/publication/61265"> the Congressional Budget Office</a>. The federal deficit reached<a href="https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/national-deficit/"> $1.31 trillion</a> in the first half of fiscal 2025.
"If you get to $100 billion to $200 billion, you'll be pretty lucky," Moody's Chief Economist Mark Zandi told <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/01/tariffs-may-raise-much-less-than-white-house-projects-economists-say.html">CNBC</a>, offering a reality check and arguing that tariffs alone won't replace income tax burdens.
The auto sector is already feeling the squeeze.<a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/ford-hikes-prices-mexico-produced-models-citing-tariffs-2025-05-07/"> Reuters</a> reviewed a memo sent by Ford Motor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) to dealers on May 7, which said that the company would raise prices by $2,000 on three models assembled in Mexico—the Mustang Mach-E, Maverick, and Bronco Sport—due to new tariffs. <a href="https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0000037996/f84f5dbe-040c-4931-902d-beeabbb356f0.pdf">Ford is bracing for $2.5 billion</a> in added costs and has suspended its 2025 financial guidance.&nbsp;

Beyond auto, the ripple effect stretches into food and beverage. In Pittsburgh, small businesses like Brew Gentlemen Brewery and Lotus Foods have reported delays, cost spikes, and logistical hurdles that some say echo COVID-era supply chain chaos, according to<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/01/trump-tariffs-pittsburgh-covid-2-0-us-economy"> The Guardian</a>.
Internationally, the situation is escalating. The European Union is preparing a €100 billion ($113 billion) retaliation plan—including tariffs on Boeing aircraft—if U.S.-EU negotiations break down. The move follows the U.S.&#8217;s April 2 decision to impose a 20% tariff on nearly all EU exports, as the<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/42458681-95c4-463e-866d-1c6968e61df6"> Financial Times</a> reported.

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

U.S. stocks traded mixed Thursday, with major indices posting timid midday gains as investors digested fresh economic data revealing signs of consumer strain and disinflationary pressure stemming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45435725/tariffs-slow-retail-spending-as-producer-prices-post-sharpest-drop-since-2020">from April's tariff escalation.</a>
Retail sales rose just 0.1% in April, slightly above flat expectations, but core retail sales—a category tied more closely to GDP—fell 0.3%, signaling weakening underlying consumption.
Producer prices contracted by 0.5% month-over-month, defying forecasts for an increase and marking the steepest drop since April 2020. 
Defensive sectors outperformed, with consumer staples and utilities leading gains, reflecting a cautious market tone.
In tech, semiconductor stocks—tracked by the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>)—edged down 0.4%, pulling back after a three-day rally sparked by the U.S.-China trade truce.
Oil prices slid 2.2%, with WTI light crude falling to $61 per barrel. Gold climbed 1.4% to above $3,200 per ounce, paring weekly losses amid renewed demand for inflation hedges.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) was little changed, hovering around $103,436, continuing to trade in a narrow range since last Friday.

Crude Oil Falls Over 2%; US Retail Sales Increase 0.1% In April

Financial struggles and debt-related stress are key contributors to marital strain. Amid inflation and sluggish wage growth, couples are increasingly facing relationship challenges, often exacerbated by mounting mental health issues.
In October, someone <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/comments/1fzjnbr/update_i_cut_my_wife_off_from_our_finances/">posted</a> on Reddit that his marriage was falling apart due to his wife's excessive spending on food delivery apps. He said his spouse spent $1,176 ordering food from delivery apps in just a month, after which he decided to "cut my wife off from our finances."

"This is egregiously outside of what we can afford to spend on takeout," he wrote. "And since she didn't seem willing to stop, I canceled our credit card and moved the money from our joint account into my own."
The poster said that after these steps, his wife accused him of financially "abusing" her, threw "tantrums" and threatened him with divorce. According to him, she also tried to guess his bank account password and threw out food from the refrigerator.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Taking a ‘Predatory' Loan for Ordering Food</h2>
However, the Redditor said all of this stopped after a few days. He thought his life was returning to "normal"—until he checked the garbage bin outside his home.
&nbsp;"When I took the last bag out before taking the bin down to the curb, I discovered half a dozen fast food bags and other takeout containers in it," he said.

The Redditor said since her wife was not ‘supposed" to have access to money, he confronted her to ask about how she was able to afford all the takeout food. After a lot of probing and questioning, he found out that his wife had taken a loan.
"Now, I thought that she had borrowed money from a friend or family member. But she had taken out one of those predatory payday loans," he said, adding that he had no clue how she got this loan approved.
He said that after taking the payday loan, his wife didn&#8217;t deposit the money in their bank account but instead started buying food from restaurant drive-throughs.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘My Marriage Is Over'</h2>
A lot of Redditors advised the original poster that his wife was likely going through severe food addiction and needed professional help. He replied that he understood how addiction affects behavior since his sister struggled with heroin addiction for 20 years. However, he said after numerous attempts to communicate with his wife and repeated warnings, he does not "care."
&nbsp;"As I worked every day, my wife sat around ordering takeout and living like a queen, and when the (almost literal) gravy train stopped, she decided to imperil our financial future for more food," he wrote in a comment, adding that she never shown any signs of "remorse" on her habit.
The Redditor said he wasn't willing to spend the rest of his life with someone who used money &#8220;someone else&#8221; earned to feed their addiction by constantly ordering food.
"I told her that we would be getting divorced. So yeah. My marriage is over," he said.
