While Trump is arguing for his levying of tariffs at the Supreme Court level, the President has decided what he wants to do with that money in the mean time.
This morning, President Trump announced a $2,000 dividend for all Americans from the tariff surplus. - "People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS! We are now the Richest, Most Respected Country In the World, With Almost No Inflation, and A Record Stock Market Price. 401k's are Highest EVER. We are taking in Trillions of Dollars and will soon begin paying down our ENORMOUS DEBT, $37 Trillion. Record Investment in the USA, plants and factories going up all over the place. A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone."

I think Amy’s kinda cute, myself...
I live Trump, but he’s got to STOP saying “there’s no inflation”. It makes him seem OUT of touch, and his brand is based on being IN touch.
Yes! Yes, and Yes!!
My preference would be to give it to all taxpayers. That seems simple. I hope he will restrict this to American citizens - even in blue states and very blue cities.
For a time, we will be impacted by reducing the number of cheap illegal immigrant workers. For a time, we will be impacted by higher prices on imports. Why not soften the blows by sharing tariff revenues? People need to see real positive consequences soon.
American employment (then wages) should start to go up when there are fewer (or no) illegal immigrants. Also, in-sourcing production should increase jobs (then wages). However, these positive changes may take time.
Blowing up a bridge is quick and exciting and elicits applause. Building a bridge is slow and laborious and disruptions lead to a lot of grumbling. You need some way to keep people on board as you perform constructive change.
No. First of all it’s taxable, second, it should be used to pay down the debt.
Doesn't do me much good when all my money is in DJT stock, and every morning is a deflating experience watching it go down. I keep telling myself that I haven't lost anything until I decide to sell, but at this point I'm going to need to sell everything just to survive.
It is the government spending that causes inflation not the people spending which boosts the economy.
if it helps win midterms to allow for longer period of R program adoption, i don’t consider it bad financially.
And your personal attacks and profanity on those who disagree with you don't help matters, either.
So somebody who entered the work force a year ago, gets $2000 along with the person who’s worked and paid taxes for 40 years? A 22 year old vs a 55 year old?
“I’m just not a fan of buying votes...and this smells like it.”
That is fair enough but ...
Democrats used to love the word “comprehensive.” It suggested that everything was thought through (Not!). It also suggested many changes, often off setting.
Trump isn’t using the word “comprehensive” as far as I know. However, in his own way he is doing it. Some prices go up because of tariffs - but you get tariff revenue. Some prices go up due to a shortage of cheap illegal workers - but Americans get those jobs. There are a lot of moving parts.
It seems clear to me that Trump is a patriot.
Liberals mostly care about themselves. Beyond that, they might prefer their Mexican cleaner, or some random foreign Muslim, to American citizens living in another state.
Not that my support of Trump is contingent on it of course.
“So somebody who entered the work force a year ago, gets $2000 along with the person who’s worked and paid taxes for 40 years? A 22 year old vs a 55 year old?”
That’s how socialism works, yes.
My friend once said “.. they’re spending money like it’s free”
Prolific, really. The government and economists KNOW the dollar isn’t with anything. It’s a dead man walking.
The usual consumer knows it will buy things that they need. They know the have to work for it. But we also need to know that the fact or income hasn’t improved in 30 years means the value of our labor is nothing, and the value of stuff is rising.
But the value of the dollar? Look no further than the ones who make it, the ones who understand it. It’s practically worthless.
I was promised a pony. I want my pony.
Supply and demand determine prices in the free market.
So if supply remains the same, but demand goes up, (because people have more money) that drives up prices which is inflation.
Which is why the fed raises interest rates when inflation is too high, it takes money out of the economy which deduces demand which drives down prices.
Agreed. For once, I hope the democrats stop it.
