it will all come crashing down first because doing anything to pay down the debt is akin to political suicide.

No shite. The math aint adding up. $2000 to just a 1/4 of population is a huge number.

Oh, so we can't giving actual working Americans their own money back


Here is the deal. The people who paid the majority of the tariffs will get "zero".

That is not "giving people their own money back".

That is wealth redistribution.

Correct

And an irresponsible attempt to stimulate a sluggish economy

Tariff funds are not stimulus. Stimulus is money you do not have. Tariff checks is money you intake. Its not the same.

It's like brainwashing.

The article literally says:

"President Trump had deficits about $800 billion. Obama, in his last four years, $550 billion a year."

$800 billion (R) > $550 billion (D)

But you can't even see it due to your bias. Remarkable.


Obama didn't have COVID happening in his last year.

Not to step on your point—Everybody spends too much and Trump may be the least careful of all of them.

But...COVID.

He isn’t wrong but I would love for senator Johnson to describe what the Senate is actually doing to pass anything of substance

Sure.

Let's just pull up the drawbridge and stay inside the moat.

Nothing idiotic about taking a step back to fix the home first before venturing out into the wilderness.
