Money, money, money!

While Trump is arguing for his levying of tariffs at the Supreme Court level, the President has decided what he wants to do with that money in the mean time.

This morning, President Trump announced a $2,000 dividend for all Americans from the tariff surplus.

When SCOTUS throws 47's tariff regime back in his face, will we have to repay the $2K?

[Sighlass]

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.” ― Alexander Fraser Tytler

Not sure Alex saw when a president votes to bribe the general populace into liking him over paying down the national debt.

Tax free like covid money?  Illegals two? 

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

See this is how conservatism is different than populism. Consider this a lesson.

Indirectly, yes.

[Smokin Joe]

I don't like it.

Just pay down the debt and don't send out 'free money'.

My taxes will be what they are: (Wages+SS+other-expenses)*whatever % they ding me.

Me either. I've agreed with Trump on most things, but this is a negatory.

Trump promises $2,000 check for every American thanks to tariff revenue he's collected

Donald Trump has vowed to give a $2,000 check to every American, thanks to the tariff revenue his administration has collected.

The president made the exciting announcement on Sunday morning - blasting those who hated on his tariff strategy as 'fools'.

He said that the dividend of at least $2,000 would be paid to everyone, bar 'high income people,' although he did not state what the threshold for that would be.

The president also generally lauded the state of the US, calling it 'the most respected country in the world'. He said there is 'almost no inflation, and a record stock market price'.

Trump cited 'trillions of dollars' of tariff income and said the money would soon go to paying the country's 'enormous debt' of $37 trillion.

The Truth Social post comes after the Supreme Court questioned the legality of his use of emergency powers to impose tariffs on almost every country in the world - allies and enemies alike.

The US collected around $151billion in tariff revenue between April and October, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he expected the US will collect at least $500 billion in tariff revenue per year.

[LMAO]

Why is it that whenever a politician or party gets into trouble with voters, we get “promises?”

[libertybele]

I heard this months ago.  It never came to fruition.

[240B]

It is a stupid idea and it was STUPID of Trump to ever say it.
"FREE MONEY!" necessarily creates inflation.

Every time this happens, prices jump by whatever the amount given is.
$300, everything you want goes up by $300. $2000, same thing.
Stupid nonsense.

[mountaineer]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a deficit? Aren't we in debt?

[jafo2010]

No mystery here.  The drunk on their power Supreme Court is considering undoing all that Trump did with tariffs.  So, what better way to knock them off their high horse than promise something to the electorate?  The whole of America will want to string them up to the nearest vertical if they vote against the tariffs.

Frankly, I am tired of the judicial branch over extending their say in things done by the Trump executive branch of government. 

So, contray to the Dems wanting to expand the court, I say cut it back to 5 members of the Supreme Court.  Cut the rest of the federal judges back 40%.  If they keep bringing lawsuits against the Trump administration, they have entirely too much time on their hands!   PERIOD!

Prices keep rising, and he's getting desperate to undo the damage from the tariffs.  Yesterday he proposed a 50 year mortgage to make housing affordable.

[Hoodat]

Oh great.  The Fed will print up another $700 billion in fresh money (adding to both the debt and inflation) just so people who don't even work can get 'free' cash.

You can't have a dividend when you are in the red $2 trillion.  Dividends only happen when there's money left over.

Correctamundo.

What the heck are you smoking?

[rustynail]

Stimmeny Christmas.

[Timber Rattler]

Hooray!  Free money!



Soooo...about that inflation thingy that happened the last time free money was handed out to everybody...

[corbe]

   You'd think, haven given away a $1T recently they would have learned their lesson.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Never heard of cutting back the USSC... how could you cut back sitting justices? USC says they have to be impeached. Sounds like a constitutional crisis in the making.

Bravo for an original idea though.
