Working Americans are going to get “very large refunds” of $1,000 to $2,000 per household early in the new year, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

The checks will come in the first quarter of 2026 as a result of tax cuts in President Donald Trump’s sweeping, budget-focused One Big Beautiful Bill Act, he said.

“I think we’re going to see $100-$150 billion of refunds, which could be between $1,000, $2,000 per household,” Bessent said Wednesday.

Another day, another check we may or not see. Just mass deport about 75 million people who shouldn’t be here, and I’m good.

Actually, those are set in stone.

The SALT deduction will be good for a couple grand. The tax on SS will be good for a couple grand.

Easy Peasy. Looking forward to doing them this year.

No get rid of the capital gains tax and we will be all set.

I think the checks are happening. They just want to time them just right next spring close enough to the mid-terms to be remembered but not so close as to be accused of buying votes.

One can question whether this will actually happen or not.

One can question whether it would have been better spent paying down the debt.

I think one thing this is likely, though, is that it will probably help with the mid-term elections.

More borrowed money.... more debt. I thought Trump was going to stop spending. Our nation’s debt is 38 1/2 Trillion and climbing rapidly.

So, we get a check and inflation increases.

Sending out checks on borrowed money when the country is in debt 8x it's income; on top of which it will increase inflation.

There are so many who will fall through the cracks and not receive the 2K. I know I won’t. I’m sure all 401K holders will receive it.

It’ll set the economy in motion

Anyone retired and affording life did not ever see the kind of debt young people have and they’re paying social security for them

They also may not ever see social security

There’s nothing wrong with just giving it up once in a while

> More borrowed money.... more debt. <

In no particular order, the three greatest threats to the United States today:

1. Illegal aliens
2. Voter fraud
3. The federal deficit

Trump is doing great work on threat #1. But I’m not seeing much action on the other two. That worries me.

I think the sad reality is that Trump thought he could reduce spending and debt but the people were resistant. Money and stuff is like a drug to the drug addicted and when Trump announced tariffs were coming people started screaming and so it went. Trump realized that he is going to have to wean these drug addled people off their addiction to spending a little bit at a time. In the meantime.....a hit of cash to quell the withdrawals.

Inflation can’t be stopped over this BUT if you don’t want your check you can sign it over to me.

Thanks!

It would’ve been, but never would’ve happened.

Politicians look at taxpayer dollars like heroin addicts look at smack.
