A recent news report has attracted the attention of many market participants: the US government plans to request a $1.5 trillion military budget allocation from Congress, nearly a 50% increase compared to the previous year. What does this mean? The official rationale is to support this military expenditure through tariff revenues, repay national debt, and even promise future tax rebates to taxpayers.

It sounds great, but upon closer inspection, there are some issues. The national debt problem has not been resolved, yet there is a significant increase in military spending—how is this accounted for? The market generally has doubts—will such a bill pass through Congress?

For the crypto market, macro policy signals like this are very important. Every change in US fiscal policy can influence liquidity, the US dollar trend, and subsequently affect valuation logic for assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Whether it’s short-term market volatility or long-term price expectations, these policy uncertainties are worth paying attention to.

Listening to this, I just want to laugh. Can tariff revenue plug the military spending gap? Who would believe that logic? It's just another pretense before printing more money. BTC has already got it. A 50% increase in military spending... the crypto world must be counting down now. These people are really good at hyping, with national debt so high, yet they still dare to expand the military? The dollar is going to be diluted to death. Damn, this kind of uncertainty is the worst. Short-term, we're about to get chopped up again. The returns haven't been fully calculated yet, and now they want to take over? Pass.

Another "castle in the air"? Tariff revenue isn't even in sight yet, but they want to double military spending first. The logic is so absurd that I want to laugh. Macro is just this messed up, and the crypto world is being sheared like sheep... When the figure of 1.5 trillion comes out, I knew the dollar would be even weaker. Looks like I need to stock up on some BTC to preserve value. Those guys in Congress really dare to boast. They can't even settle the accounts properly but still pretend to be big shots. Liquidity tightens, and my positions become uncomfortable.

Back at it with this again? Tariff revenue still paying off debt and reducing taxes, why not just print money directly? --- 15 trillion military spending... how to solve the US debt problem, I really don’t understand this logic --- Basically, the Federal Reserve has to keep pumping liquidity. Is our BTC about to take off? --- It’s unlikely Congress will pass it; these PPT plans are there every year --- Whenever US finances get messy, we have to watch out for liquidity tightening. Crypto circle, be careful --- Tariff revenue supporting military expenses? Haha, just a paper dream --- This calculation doesn’t add up at all. Energy stocks and defense stocks are rising, BTC still depends on the dollar’s face --- It’s debt upon debt again, printing money is a given. Stay optimistic about holding coins --- Policy uncertainty is the most annoying. It might cause short-term drops, so let’s just wait for the bottom to buy in

It's the same old story, tariffs revenue used for debt repayment and then returning dividends? If you can't solve the math problem, don't try to make up an answer.

This rhetoric, using tariff revenue to balance military spending? Uh... does the math add up? --- 1.5 trillion directly poured in, on-chain liquidity will be drained, and the dollar might go crazy. --- It sounds like a good story, but first borrowing on national debt to increase military spending? Wake up, this is a classic case of one hand giving and the other taking. --- The US is playing new tricks again, and this time the crypto market is trembling... --- Is this real? Still expecting tax rebates? Better pay off the debt first. --- Tariffs and military spending again, the logical flaws are bigger than the Ethereum mainnet. --- 50% growth? Bullshit, it can't keep up with the dollar depreciation rate. --- I just want to know, will this money cause Bitcoin to rise or fall? --- When macro policies get chaotic, our K-line chart has to dance along. Truly impressive.

Coming back with the same routine? Tariff revenue for debt repayment, tax rebates... sounds smooth, but in reality, it's just a printing press changing direction. If this really passes, how much will the dollar depreciate, and BTC will surge directly.

Starting to make empty promises again, what use can tariff revenue really have? How can this ledger possibly be balanced? --- Oh my, they’re going to print more money again. Isn’t it a good time for BTC to seize the opportunity and absorb some chips, everyone? --- Basically, they have no money but still want to pretend they do. The devaluation of the US dollar is a foregone conclusion. --- Ignoring the national debt, doubling military spending? That move is outrageous. On-chain funds will definitely be used for bottom fishing. --- Wait, can tariffs cover 1.5 trillion? I feel like this is pretty uncertain. --- So the coins we hold are the real assets. Fiat currency is doomed to fail sooner or later. --- Inflation expectations are back again. Looking forward to the big dip opportunity ahead. --- Once this kind of policy is implemented, Bitcoin should take off. History will repeat itself.
