A lot of Freepers didn't like the idea of the $2k payout, so here ya go.

I dunno. I’d rather get my fiscal house in order with 2 grand, than throwing more money down the Government endless pit rat hole.
If not, as long as it is used to reduce the deficit fine. If the money is going to be part of another giveaway like the obamacare credit, they can GFT.
They always talk about deficit reduction as the most important thing, but never do any of it. Maybe the talk is just an excuse to cover for the fact they do nothing.
I trust Americans with the 2k more than the government, pay it out.
But the GOP members shouldn't be so public about it. They should follow Trump's lead and let the Dims be the ones to come against it. Trump's trolling techniques are a primary way of getting points across to the public. If the GOP would let the Dims be the ones to criticize it, there would be a lot of back and forth between the Dims and Trump, resulting in the public being more educated that the tariffs are bringing in real revenue worth arguing about what to do with.
Luckily, I figured it was more crap 😕 out of DC. Would’ve been nice towards paying my property taxes here in Texas.
This is after Congress collected their paychecks during the shutdown
After MTG waltzed away with $22 million but not before Jan 3 when she gets full retirement for working for a whole 5 years
So. Some animals are…

I’m in that lot. I don’t want us or Trump slip-sliding into the “buy-a-vote” crowd.
It’s a dumb idea. Not only can we not afford it, it doesn’t necessarily go to the people paying the tariff. Just say NO!
HOW ABOUT half/half???
FOR THOSE OF US MAKING UNDER $20K A YEAR ON SS, IT SURE WOULD HELP.
GWB did something similar.
It didn’t save his Presidency.
I like the idea of winning the midterms. Trump is brilliant to buy votes with free tariff money. Democrats have been doing it forever with our tax dollars. Johnson is being short sighted and should concentrate on reducing government and reining in spending.
Pogue Colonel: Then how about getting with the program? Why don’t you jump on the team and come on in for the big win?
Let’s get behind the Govt draining Soros and other enemies foreign and domestic of their wealth that has been ill-gotten.
It would be one of the great spoils of winning the war that obliterates the Deep State and drains the Swamp.
Money should be used to reduce the federal deficit.
Stop feeding the illegals and the federal deficit could inch out of the red zone.
And a lot other tax payer pick pocket plans.
I guess it’s been a few years since Uncle Sugar paid a visit. I wish someone could explain to me how dumping $2,000 a head into the economy is not going to result in inflation?
I mean, it did the last time.
Either pay down the debt or drop the tax rate. Giving $2k to people who are not paying federal taxes is just graft.
Politically it would be great. A large increase in RNC-MAGA votes.
So saying "we can't afford a rebate" is at best lazy and at worst cowardly.
And yes I am personally opposed to the "rebate" floated by Trump because it is unfair, why punish those making more than 100K ?
Hahaha... You’re never going to “reduce the federal deficit” Ron, and everybody knows it.
Excellent point. Congress is absurdly irresponsible with money and cannot be trusted with spending it.
Seriously though, this would be a giveaway that helps offset some of the economic pain that the tariffs have caused. A little encouragement to keep the faith while the nation claws its soul back from globalism. You could also call it an election year bribe, same thing really. The important part is winning.
