Trump says a tariff dividend of 'at least' $2,000 will be paid to most Americans

[krichton]

So Trump is basically going to give me my money back from all the tariff hikes I'm paying? I'm so grateful! Please sir, offer to pay me all the money you stole out of my wallet!

Someone has to pay to make America great again. It will all work out and it's really not as painful as you make it sound.

Tariffs haven't hurt us much. They will end up making our country great again however. Do you think you really deserve money back from the tariffs? Sounds like you just cry, moan and ***** like a broken record. Typical Democrat. Good for nothing.

Tell that to the working poor and those on fixed incomes , the retired elderly , especially those whose life savings have been taken away by medical corporations. You try living on $1,500.00 a month. And these tariffs will continue to make things even worse. Driving away foreign investment and business. The Chines did the bare minimum to get trump to reduce their tariffs. He thought that was a win but of their not buying any other US products then it is a win for them again. It's not a political issue. It's common sense. Be very wary when trump believes he is winning.

Tariffs haven't hurt me at all and I'm not exactly rich. How have they hurt you personally? You have to realize it's all an effort to bring Manufacturing and productivity back to the United States. I know that's difficult for you in your state of TDS but necessary for us regular Folk. How about that GDP, lower energy prices, lower food prices (Thanksgiving 25% cheaper) lower interest rates. Biden sure created a mess for all of us. MAGA

This is pure Maga cope. There isn't a single economist past or present who thinks this way. This was always about ego, nothing else. We've broken trust with allies, made things more expensive here in the US, and pushed us toward a recession, for what, exactly? One fool's ego.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Yeah. Again, this is like the ******* liberals who act like anyone getting benefits from the government is suppose to kiss their ass. Can you not understand opposing a policy, even if you benefit from it personally? Is that beyond your stilted imagination?

I can understand it. I mean, I think its not a good idea myself, but im also not going to get vociferous about it either. I guess I just dont see how anyone could be so utterly opposed to something but then accept the benefits from that thing.

SAYS WHO? And explain how?
IF we are in enough trouble that we cant afford lunch for little kids.
How will a Short Term fix in our pocket help US get out of debt?

Who claimed that? You?

I will spend it in canada fishing.

Yeah. This is the same mentality as those who look down on welfare recipients, as though they're supposed to take the high road and refuse to accept what's offered. They didn't set up the welfare state - they are its victims. I'm not going to shame them for grabbing at whatever freebies they can get.

Modern partisans can't understand opposing policies on principle - even if as we are forced to deal with those policies as a pragmatic reality. For example, I oppose all the games Congress plays with the tax code, all the loopholes, rebates, incentives and exemptions that they use to extend their power - and I fight against them every chance I get. But come tax time, I'm sure as **** going to abuse every one of these gimmicks as much as I can. I'd be a fool not to.

So, if Trump wants to send me a check in some ham handed attempt to buy my vote, I'm sure as hell gonna cash it. I'll send the money to decent candidates opposing the retard circus of MAGA, if I can find any. He won't get my vote, but I'll take any money I can squeeze out of his stupidity.

Sounds like you know very little about what is really going on with tariffs.

What Tariffs Are, How They Work, And Who Pays The Bill

There is a lot of misunderstanding concerning tariffs. In this article, we'll clarify what they are, how they work, and perhaps most important, who will pay the bill.

I dont know of any welfare recipient who is against the welfare system. I dont know, there might be some.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??????

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??????

WHAT?

Well, ok. I do. But, of course, you're missing the point. Or perhaps just steering around it.

 

[sartre play]

look's like a lot of people will believe just about Anything..... IF it gets them an un earned few dollars

 

[sartre play]

Who claimed that? You?

Will make it more clear, a one time money give away WILL NOT GET US OUT OF DEBT.
FEEDING LITTLE KIDS will not put us in MORE debt.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Not really, I get what you are saying. It boils down to, at the basic level, that you'll take the trump money even though you disagree with it strongly.

Thats fine.

 

[Crepitus]

Stupid trolling zoX. Then make it $100K but in CA make it $125K. The point remains the same you ignorant sack of human garbage.

LMAO!!! Only like 15% por so of US citizens make over $100K.

That leaves like 136 million or so.

At $2K each he still needs $275 billionish.

That's $100 billion more than he has.

And that's if he forgets to use some to bail out the farmers he destroyed with his tariffs.

And you are also forgetting that that money came straight out of our pockets.

He took money from you and now he's gonna give some of it back to buy your vote.

How stupid do you have to be to fall for that shit?

 

[Crepitus]

It varies between estimates of $1,200 to $2,600 per person in the US. Per person , not per taxpayer.

That means the traditional "nuclear family" of 4 had their expenses go up a minimum of $5K under tRump.

Hooray for the tRump economy.

You of very poor imagination need help with your math as well.
