Why wouldn’t he describe it as a “stimulus” and instead as something of a “dividend” if he wanted it to stimulate something?


Isn't the answer to that obvious?

Here's a hint. The same reason Democrats called the Bill they passed in 2022 the Inflation Reduction Act when it was guaranteed to increase inflation.

That is what a "Rebate" is. It is a payment to people who actually paid taxes.

Of course we know that if this happens it be given to everyone.

Cool. So Trump is suggesting a “dividend” for the “investment” the American people (“dividend” does not necessarily mean “stimulus check” to every single American - by definition dividends are paid to stockholders only, not every person in a country) made in his efforts to make our “company” a more fiscally efficient entity in the realm of the world economy. Good for him.

You and some others have yall’s interpretation and speculation, I have mine.

It does matter. The money supply is main driver of inflation. Whatever effect that happens in the very short term is temporary.

The point is prices will go up regardless where the money come from.

Put it towards the debt. We don't need even more inflation like the last time we printed money we didn't have.

It's hard to say who's more pathetic. The loony lefties like VOR, Decatur, 4cubbies, and beaux duke, or the know-it-all useful idiots like Roger, Power, and sfp who align themselves with those loony -yet-honest lefties 95% of the time.

I know which group I would choose.

Lefties love tariffs, quasi socializing companies (like MAGA has proposed) and stimuluses.

Leftist.

When self labeled “conservative” posters disappear after Trump got shot and Charlie Kirk…but after Jan 6th you could not get them to stop posting…tells you all you need to know about what they actually believe.

How's that ground war in Iran coming along? Remember when you predicted that Trump was going to get us into an all-out war with them? Including troops on the ground?

Dude, you've been WRONG about practically everything this year. Pointing out your incredibly pathetic track record doesn’t make me insane. But hey, I get it. How could you possibly defend your pathetic record?

Pointing out a completely fake and fabricated one does. Well, technically, you believing your fabrication is true is what makes you insane, and not the initial fabrication itself.

Some people understand when it's just voices in their head telling them things.

Sure, I could use the $2K but we really need to apply this towards paying off (or reducing) the National Debt. Realistically, that $ 37 trillion ND is a ticking time bomb.

President Trump is/was right about...........everything.

Would make sense...he's not a fiscal conservative at all. He'll blow any revenue from his tariffs on buying the love of a few people for 10 min. He doesn't seem to remember that while people will like the checks, they will not start to love him because of them.

Pay off the debt or cut taxes on the middle class. I’d prefer to pay down the debt.
