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

[DennisPTate]

How about fixing the government shutdown first — and paying the federal workers currently working without a paycheck?

That shouldn’t be hard. Paying people for their labor is supposed to be an essential function of government.

Oh, and welcome to U.S. Message Board.

I do suspect that what you are suggesting will be taken care of. I certainly do hope so anyway.

Like I said in the other threads about this, it's not gonna happen, the money isn't really there.

If Progressives keep screaming the sky is falling 24 hours a day, we most likely will get checks.

 

[DennisPTate]

Dude, it's retarded. That money came right out of our pockets.

Your estimate of tRump's IQ is likely about 2/3 higher than the reality.

The estimate came out back in 2016 and seemed to be from an impressive source who had done their homework? [Charisma Magazine].

In my sixty six years I have never seen a USA President be as decisive as President Trump has been. He has a very high level of intellectual courage in spite of almost zero support from Big Media.

While also paying down the debt somewhat, this is almost certainly the right play.

The worst outcome for the world would be the U.S becoming insolvent and/or hitting hyper-inflation. If needs to continue to push the idea of Americans all pulling the same rope and in doing so they will receive benefits of the tariff paid for primarily by foreign countries when they absorb the costs in order to remain competitive.

If he doesn't win the tariff case he will pursue other avenues and perhaps even cut off unfair trading partners.

It's a ruse, you know.

Trump is plying this lie ahead of the SCOTUS ruling he expects to go against him.

"The SCOTUS took away your $2000!!"

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

We are nowhere close to paying down our debt. The BBB is projected to increase the debt by $3.4 trillion

You left out "over 10 years".

a massive reduction in debt accumulation ..

 

[Cassandro]

The tariffs revenue for fiscal 2025 was around $175 billion.

You'd need twice that to give every taxpayer $2K.

Yes, you would need an entire fiscal year's tariffs. Why are you always so deceptive?

Adding to the debt reduces the debt, in Trumpalandia.

its a step in the right direction .. but the US has to start paying down the debt ..something Dems have never even entertained attempting .. there are virtually no dem leaders sounding the alarm about the National Debt in Congress .. however there are many republicans do so ..

How would you know about high IQ?

Have you sent a letter to Schumer?

Adding to the debt is a step in the right direction of reducing the debt.

In Trumplandia.

What's $2,000 supposed to do?

Increase inflation

 

[pknopp]

Bessent. "Don't spend that money yet".

I hope Trump hurries up with it so I can order before the dems take over and the $200.00 tax goes away.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

Increase inflation

But that's not a good thing nor is it helping Americans — they’re just giving us the bill later.

 

[citygator]

Wrong. You had to borrow or print money for covid. This is money collected by the treasury department, it's entirely different. Though is does increase the money supply, it won't be for everyone and it will offset some costs and to avoid inflation the checks should be cut in a staggered manner so people receive checks at different times over say a three month period.

Dumb. He cut taxes and said he offset with raised income from Tariffs instead, and now is giving that away. That $3.5 Trillion deficit increase just became $4T.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

Have you sent a letter to Schumer?

Perhaps, why do you ask lol.

 

[Mack The Finger]

I don't know what you are talking about but if I won $2,000 I would pay my bills with it like a repondsible adult.

Of course it's dumb. Our President is economically illiterate.
