I’d rather pay down the debt, but no marketing means no sale.
This is an attempt to make lower income voters happy. Financially it’s a bad idea, but it may actually soothe some voters.
This is another example of the covid cash scheme, where the higher income earners didn't get anything back as well.
Potus is desperate right now. The momentum is waning. Continuing to run on high stock market is irrelevant to the poors.
Trump going off the rails again. He’ll change his mind within a couple of weeks.
Still waiting on that $5000 rebate from DOGE and then that $2000 rebate for the tariffs...Farmers waiting on that 10 billion refund...also...
The last winbdfalls we had under Trump were 2 x $1,200.00. Paid my bill for catarcats...one eye at a time. Perfect timing!!
The own nothing’s will be happy for a while, but it won’t last. Dems need to stop their crap. Period.
…the tariff surplus..
Is that like the Social Security Trust Fund?
Only Congress can approve $2,000 tariff dividends checks?
“Soon”.
That said, I’ll take it.
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.
Pay down the debt….
That’s a lotta lobster tails, soda and snacks! Trump is the new messiah!
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.
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.
WTF! Originally it was $5000. Send no money, put it toward SS.
Yesterday I detailed on my blog 339 dollars, 28 cents more ‘revenue’ per person for the first nine months of this year from the tariffs. (118 billion dollars)
Was the POTUS reading it???
No time for ego inflation off to church.
“People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS
It’s a fair trade deal maker period.
