No they won't. And the only reason Trump would even consider this would be to stimulate the mediocre economy.

2 reasons

1. Stimulate the economy
2. Buy votes, as leftists do

Here's another question you won't answer:

"Who's more of a "Leftist" in your opinion? Trump or Obama?

A concise, straight-forward answer FOR ONCE would be appreciated.

EDIT - No answer. I figured he wouldn't. Dude loves himself some Obama.

Not only that, but stimulus checks increase demand, which aggravates inflation.

There's really nothing good about this.

Which his tariffs have contributed to already, and which will contribute to even more going forward.

Is a tarriff rebate the same as stimulus? Stimulus is newly printed money. Tarriffs are paid in dollars that already exist, and we complain a lot about having to give the gov more money than we think they deserve


It does not really matter. Companies will see that people suddenly have an extra two thousand dollars and raise prices to capture as much of it as they can. The same thing happened when stimulus checks went out and prices coincidentally climbed around the same time.

Obama. And?

What does that have to do with the price of tea in Pakistan?

If we do get a stimulus, it will be income redistribution.

A classic Progressive tactic.

This is the correct answer.

There's no reason for Trump to do this other than trying to hide the truth of the economy in the short term.

Only some of them would refuse it. The few who can afford to refuse it.

The rest will take to socials to virtue signal about how they refused the check, when in fact they have already cashed it and spent it on weed, body piercings, hair dye and name brand vegan food.

Which is, exactly? I assume you know the exact truth of the economy, while it’s successfully being hidden from everyone else. Please share with the rest of us. TIA

Stimulus checks mean the economy is flat and needs stimulating.

That’s the explanation for Trump “hiding the truth” of the economy? Why wouldn’t he describe it as a “stimulus” and instead as something of a “dividend” if he wanted it to stimulate something? That’s a rhetorical question btw.

No, but it sure fits.

Otherwise why would he send out billions in stimulus checks? Just give that money back to the poor soul it stole it from.

Should be for net producers only.

Otherwise, keep that money for debt payment.

I don’t care for more inflation.
