“We’re gonna be issuing dividends later on, somewhere prior to — the middle of next year, a little bit later than that,” he said, noting it would include “Thousands of dollars, for individuals of moderate income.”
[Scott] Bessent also floated a rough income limit of $100,000 that would disqualify higher income families from receiving the dividend.

“You’re welcome!”
Might I suggest a week before early voting starts?
Great idea!
Meh. It should be a tax break. This kind of gimmick pisses me off.
more wealth transfer… straight from “The Stash”
No information on if the dividend will be paid out to retirees that worked and
contributed to the system for some forty years plus.
Enjoy the windfall, comrades!
But regardless, those making 100K or more should at least get some token gift for their support, like a MAGA hat ....
“Might I suggest a week before early voting starts?”
That’s what the Socialist Democrats would do! However, other than Brandon during CovidBS19, I’ve never gotten ANY ‘found money’ from Mother Government. Ever.
Personally? I’d like to see all of this extra CASH FLOW applied to our NATIONAL DEBT.
If I do end up with a check, I’ll send it to FR as I did with Brandon’s Blood Money. *SPIT*
Meanwhile:
What could possibly go wrong?
Translation:
If you pay a lot of taxes? You get nothing.
Same as it was in Covid.
But hurray for the bipartisan agreement that people who have worked hard all their life, now make good money, and now PAY the majority of taxes just keep paying more.
Now, we get both kinds of redistribution of my money... the leftist “give it to the poor” and the right-side “give it to the ‘moderate’ income”
Forgive if I don’t celebrate the GOP figuring out a way to distribute more of my money to *slightly* less objectionable conduits.
Agree. This is BS.
Outstanding, that two grand will help cover the cost of the $800 dollars the Mrs. and I had to spend on a dishwasher after 17 years.
we have one never use it
How about deregulating the housing and automobile market.
Mamdani loving these ideas. Covid cash redux. Get that printer going!
Many people are precisely gauging their incomes next year so that they don’t fall off of the ACA income ‘cliff’ where suddenly they won’t be eligible for subsidies when they file their 2026 taxes. Thanks, The Donald, for the $2000; the IRS is going to want $12000 now because you pushed me over the ACA subsidy cliff.
Social Security recipients?
Not if SCOTUS overturns the tariffs (fingers crossed). This is Trump at his worst. Lots of good policies, but the bad ones are REALLY bad.
