The problem is the arbitrary nature with this. Someone at the poverty line pays zero taxes and is a drain on the economy. But someone at $105,000, that actually pumps dollars into the economy wouldn’t receive anything? Either pay it to everyone, or none at all. I vote for paying down the American debt. Now maybe if we could seriously cut more spending.

You're right.

But Trump is trying to help his party to defend their seats in Congress in 2026. Then he'll prepare his successor to be in a good position to keep the White House in 2028.

More than anything, it's really important that we win in 2026 and 2028. Then the Electoral College will be favorable after 2030 because the red states will be +10 by then.
