“Soon”.
That said, I’ll take it.
The left will counter with Trump’s billionaire friends getting more.
All good points.
EO?
It’s crap. Another MEANS TESTING boondoggle. As if we don’t have that on all so-called good deals. Socialism-light.
“That said, I’ll take it.”
Yep....I don’t recall anyone complaining about taterhead biden’s stimulus checks.
Just light so-called no tax on social security. I would if Trump even knows that there IS social security tax on so-called high earners.
And if this happens, I’ll do with it what I did with the CovidBS-19 cash Mother Government sent me - donate it to Free Republic!
Pay Down Our National Debt with this ‘found’ money! Those of us that are doing fine will continue to do so. Those that aren’t are going to blow it on stupid stuff, as they do with any windfall.
You either know how to manage your financial life...or you don’t!
the libertardians and ‘muh corporation’ conservatives will cry foul, but we don’t hear a peep out of them for all of the corporate welfare given out to their cronies. Trillions for banker bailouts, crony capitalism, illegals, and insane foreign wars. But $2K for poor main street Americans is a bridge too far for these neoCON globohomo fake “conservatives.”
It’s better than the government keeping the tax money, but it won’t fully compensate those who are bearing the burden of the trade war.
and of course foreigners and illegals will get a huge chunk of this $2K / person since Biden gave 10 million+ illegals social security numbers plus how ever many foreigners cheat the system.
Pay down the debt….
Pissing away money doesn’t come as easily to Republicans as it does democrats.
That’s a lotta lobster tails, soda and snacks! Trump is the new messiah!
The tariff revenues are about $190B as of end of FY 2025.
There were many projections of more, and of course there was talk of 3 or 4 trillion dollars (which generally stopped right there in the claims, neglecting to say that would be over 10+ years.
The deficit was $1.77T last FY. Which, of course, adds to the debt. If the USSC shoots down tariffs, the deficit for FY2026 (now) will have the $190B tacked on, refunding that money to companies or countries. The checks that get written to India and China and other BRICs will be interesting.
I got no problem with the President’s management style. There is always short term gushing optimism and then behind the scenes evaluation and rephrasing. Other countries have nodded at this. They now have him calibrated. Good things can come of this.
But make no mistake here, magnets loom. Imagine the Walmart whose food freezers broke and can’t repair them. Don’t know what the schedule for maintenance is on them. I would think we’ll see only hints of the issue by election day, but thereafter, we’ll be begging the Chinese for magnets.
will only result in people getting money and then courts forcing him to give back tariff money which will end the end only drive up the national debt.
oh, and higher inflation.
The tariffs SHOULD BE an incentive to produce items inside the US; good so far as that. But the import tariffs are eventually paid by US product and commodity consumers; some will pay far more than others, and the highest payers will be the hated rich who will not get $2000 (which isn’t even meaningful to them). Trump’s proposal = socialist redistribution of income scheme. Short term stimulus, long term folly.
Yes, it would really help keep inflation down…rolling eyes.
