PHOENIX The federal government could give Americans $4,000 apiece to take a vacation if U.S. Sen. Martha McSallys proposal takes off.
McSally (R-Ariz.) introduced the bill, the American TRIP Act, on Monday, the day before President Donald Trump visits Yuma and Phoenix.
The legislation is meant to act as an incentive to travel domestically. Couples would start at $8,000 in vacation tax credits and receive $500 for each child who is a dependent. Credits would apply for 2020, 2021 and 2022.
It will also encourage Americans to safely get out of their homes and discover or rediscover Arizona along with the rest of the amazing destinations our country has to offer after a difficult several months stuck inside, McSally said in a press release.

To be paid for by our grand children, great grand children and great great grandchildren; I guess. Or, maybe never paid, as the nation (led by today’s mobs) goes bankrupt and tells its creditors to go to hell.
Why did I ever think I liked McSally a bit???
As long as it is paid for by government dollars and not taxpayer dollars, sure why not?
It will give them more time to riot.
Now can we talk about repealing 19??
I was afraid of that. I'm not going anywhere untill everything is back to normal and open.
Great idea! I love it! Just one little question: How are you going to pay for it with so many people out of work?
Raise taxes? 30% of nothing is still nothing. And the few folks left who are working probably won’t get to take a vacation anyway, so why should they pay?
These questions are for McSally, not you, Responsibility2nd.
Maybe I can get some hotel chain to launder the money for me, for a small cut, and actually use the funds for some expensive dental work.
Trump is going to win Arizona big, but even his coattails arent going to be enough to save terrified RINO McSally.
$6,000 subsidy for those that have jobs. those without will use the money to survive.
Well, that’s one communistic piece of pork that would do nothing to create real wealth. No!
Sheriff Joe for senator!
Can I use the $4000 to pay mortgage on my vacation beach house in Cebu?
Or, maybe the government could just let us keep us some more of our money in the first place.
How on earth somebody can claim to be conservative and propose such a silly give away is beyond me.
WTF?
And she seemed sane at one time...
Look, Arizona is so screwed. Loaded with good people its Republican leadership has been pathetic for decades. McSally is only the latest iteration of a moronic seat-warmer in Congress.
“Is mcsally a nut job?”
Yep! Dumber than a box of rocks. Proof a fighter pilot can be stupid if the fighter pilot is backed by Congresswomen.
Exactly.
Another idiot in our government floats to the surface.
None of that is happening at Glacier National Park in Montana!
