Meh. It should be a tax break. This kind of gimmick pisses me off.

It pisses me off. First, it shouldn’t be done at all. Second, much of it will go to those who don’t pay taxes. ThirdI am sick to death of the GOP buying into the notion that the government should be picking winners and losers. I pay 40 grand a year in federal income tax and FICA. Don’t give away money that should go to reducing the deficit but, if you insist, I’m someone who actually has skin in the game. Why am I cut out?

He had to do this because chamber of traitor assholes took tariffs to SCOTUS.
This brings in congress to “legitimize” the tariffs. Trump shouldn’t have had to do this.

Yeah. I agree. How did that Covid check work out? Inflation through the roof. Pay down the debt.
Jeez.

It doesn't take a rocket economist to figure out that this check is going to fuel inflation. This is just
a midterm vote buying stunt.
