Shore up the SS fund. Buy back all the T-bills in the “lock box”.

[samadams2000]

Pay us. Pay us a lot.

[Regulator]

Stop Spending

Pay the Debt

End the Income Tax

[jean michael]

I’m a little worn out on income based giveaways.

[Whatever Works]

Whenever the government cuts checks, I fail to receive one. Whatever. I have no control and no voice.

I just emailed them my mailing address.

Why not pay off debt?

Set an example for everyone and be responsible with the money.

[volare737]

Agreed. I am sick and tired of everything being ‘means tested’— another form of mini-socialism.

[Flaming Conservative]

After the last four years of paying twice the price for most food items, I could use a little relief.

[hoosierham]

Pay off highest interest debt.

And end H1B and similar anti-American worker programs. Weekly paychecks are better than occasional government handouts.

I agree but a few hundred dollars to everyone that filed tax returns would give him enormous gravitas among certain people who want to see proof.

“Shore up the SS fund....”

Exactly!
I’m hearing that SS will have to reduce payments in 7 years. Why not use windfalls like this to accomplish something constructive instead of throwing tiny rebates to the masses for instant -but short- political gain?

$600 rebate checks for Americans who make less than $100,000.

Nice extra money but it won't be too bad so we won't cause too much inflation.

People who make over $100,000 tend to be wealthy coastal elite who vote for the Democratic Party.

[Vermont Lt]

I agree. Shore up SS. Pay down the debt. Every little bit helps.

Sending “rebates” to people would be inflationary. But, handing nickels to the peons has worked for ages. Why stop now.

[Robert357]

I would rather see the money used to pay down the federal debt....absolutely not for expanded entitlement programs.

However, giving such a rebate to “US Citizens” would destroy the MSM’s credibility. After all the MSM and their chosen “economists” kept saying what a disaster tariffs were and how this was a tax on consumers.

Go Trump.....the winning keeps amazing people.

Stop Spending

Pay the Debt

I thought the same thing, but then I had a second thought.

Sending checks to Americans is stimulative...

And when the consumers spend more, there is more economic activity, and with more economic activity, more jobs are created, and with more jobs and people working, more tax paying jobs will result in a lot more tax revenue collected, which will more than offset the checks from the tariffs.

It takes money to make money, and the tariffs can be the stimulative trigger for a lot more economic activity.

[Sacajaweau]

The Biden years wrecked us. Inflation is accumulative...like 20%+ under Biden.

It will take a little time to get us back on track.

[fluffy]

Redistribution by another name. Steal money from businesses and then cut checks to people who didn’t earn it. Sounds like a typical democrat scheme.
