Also, why put a single dime of the early fruits into anything other than paying down what we already owe. I think the Trump team thinks they'll have alot more public buy in on what they're trying to get accomplished if the public gets something tangible back from the administration. Kind of the same thing as buying votes, except they're trying to buy good will in the court of public opinion.

It's a second term presidency and they have 3 years and 11 months to win in the court of public opinion. Instead, make the tax changes permanent and let's pause celebrating until we make it past 5% (that's being kind) of the effort

Hope Trump can pull it off.
Biden, with the enthusiastic assistance of Congress, looted the economy with Build Back, Build back better Bs. Through heavy inflation, It lowered the value of the dollar. The $ we have put away, through social security withholding and personal investing for the future buys a lot less groceries and medical care. We, as a nation, are bankrupting and head over heels in debt with nothing left backing it.
Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.

No gold = devaluation of the dollar.

The $5,000 kickback is political chess and nothing more. It is a lot of money that will go into the system and make monthly reported numbers on the financial channels look good. Every month you get these made up numbers, like consumer spending, GDP, on and on. Those numbers will get a little help. Hopefully some will knock down credit card debt. 36 Trillion debt keeps getting thrown around. That doesn’t include unfunded liabilities, like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. Numbers north of 100 Trillion is what some podcasters throw around. It is mathematically impossible to pay back. “You can’t get there from here.” https://www.cato.org/blog/medicare-...ible-100-percent-us-unfunded-obligations https://www.truthinaccounting.org/a...wDJRzfvVQL6cI2pG1X4PGNvIQYRoCtyEQAvD_BwE

No gold = devaluation of the dollar. The US dollar stopped being gold backed / gold standard in 1971. There is not enough gold in the country much less Ft Knox to back the value of our paper based fiat currency

IF this comes to fruition:
2 Examples.
1. Husband and Wife filing Jointly from the same residence. Only one filing so only 1 check...Correct?
2. Husband and Wife files Separately from the same residence. Do they both get a check if there are 2 tax filings. 1 check PER tax File??

Only about 50% of folks pay taxes correct? Are the checks going to everyone or just the folks that paid taxes? I don't agree with any refunds. Either lower folks taxes or put it toward the national debt. Agreed

There is no way the dividends could be distributed out fairly. Young people who have worked almost none at all getting the same as a married couple that has paid in for 40 years is BS. I`ll just bypass my $$$$ and say put it all towards the debt. I can only imagine how many 70" big screen TV`s Walmart would sell if people got that much $$$ all at once. Lots of people never had that much money all at once anyway. They call it ______ rich.
