The nonpartisan nonprofit Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget released cost projections after Trump pitched his idea this weekend.
Donald Trump’s proposal to send Americans $2,000 rebate checks from money collected through his tariffs is projected to cost $600 billion a year ‒ about double what the United States is expected to generate from the new duties on imports.
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan nonprofit that studies fiscal policy, released the projections on Nov. 10 after Trump over the weekend pitched his idea on Truth Social. The president touted “taking in Trillions of Dollars” and said, “A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone.”
I mean it’s pretty classic narcissist shit. The husband who punches his wife in the face and sends roses the next day. The deadbeat dad who drops off an expensive birthday gift 3 weeks late after blowing off said birthday. They don’t like when people are angry but lack the empathy and emotional maturity to do any actual introspection or attempts at a proper resolution, so they just throw money or something shiny at the problem and pat themselves on the back for their ‘compassion’.
