True, but so are the vast majority of Republicans. Take away abortion, and most Republicans of 2025 are ever so slightly to the left of Bill Clinton.

It was either 18 or 22 (I think 18?), we could probably bump it if you really wanted. You getting it wrong wasn’t crazy, you pretending not to remember (which you’re doing again) was the objectively funny part.
Also “life outside the internet”, my brother in Christ you’ve posted here 8x more times than me
maybe take your own advice…
If it was tmrw it would absolutely be a wave. House flip all but certain and senate flip would be in play. Good news is he has a year to figure it out which is a political eternity.

You don't like Trump's populist welfare checks?
Sorry…. But didn’t the democrats have the government still shut down for trillions in more welfare?
And for the record, every dime of the tariff revenue should go to narrow the deficit. A lot of the deficit that is paid in democrat cherished welfare.

I’m in line for the explanation as well.
I pay a load of income taxes, I pay property taxes, school taxes, sales taxes, capital gains taxes, excise taxes, ad valorem taxes, “road and bridge privilege” taxes, social security taxes, Medicare taxes (and no a business that pays half of it does not get benefits from it), etc.
Where is my mounds of cash into my net worth?

Well anyone invested in the stock market in 07 got a huge bump from the government with TARP. What should have been an economic reset, turned into a 20 year bailout,
How about interest rates being kept artificially low for years. Saved homeowners thousands and thousands. Allowed people with means to rack up insane appreciation of their properties with the massive amount of money printed and injected into the economy.
When money supply is increased, it flows to people who have "money funnels" already. That is stocks, real estate, basically anything that scales with inflation. If you happen to have been someone with means during this time and has those money funnels, good for you. People who were 5 years old in 2008 didnt have that same opportunity.
Lets be clear. I dont support sending checks out to anyone from the government unless it was for a real service. I also didnt support bailouts and years of QE that destroyed the integrity of our currency. You boomers will ignore this as you always do

And if we had gotten a full economic reset in 08 how would that have affected you. Your bank failed, savings wiped out. How would the resulting economic depression have affected your business?
Without years of artificially low interest rates, and 4 rounds of QE, how much more interest on your debt would you have had to pay?
I bet if we add up everything...itd be far more than 2k or whatever "tariff check" Trump wants to send out
Lastly, you are touting all the taxes you have paid...while conveniently ignoring all the taxes many making under 100k(who are mostly young) WILL pay in their comparative lifetimes, so spare me that nonsense

It is 2025 and too many people still can't figure out when Trump tosses bait out to the masses for a reaction from the Dems and country club republicans.

should be no tariff checks, if we have extra money from tariffs it should be paying off the debt faster
There’s paying down the debt but if we can’t eliminate our annual time honored tradition of deficit spending that part about paying down the debt never happens.

Another reason I’m glad I retired early. No income.

Let’s not forget his earlier demands to lower the interest rate to spark things economically.

And if we didn’t have complete idiocy of legislation like Dodd-Frank, this wouldn’t have even been a concern. This isn’t taxpayers being enriched by the government, it’s moronic government officials squandering taxpayer money to subsidize their idiotic legislation.

All funded by the people that actually pay the taxes. And the artificially low interest rates benefit, greatly, the people who pay minimal taxes.
You are starting from the bottom up. What about the wealth lost on the way down?

WTF?
like I haven’t been paying taxes my entire life? You saying I got a decade or two of tax amnesty?

It's an admission that the economy isn't doing as well as he would like
And an attempt to shift blame

And you paid less taxes when you were young...just like young people pay less taxes than they will eventually pay later. Are you suggesting that people making under 100k arent paying all the taxes you listed?

"He has always liked tariffs!"
Well, where were they during Trump admin 1?
I voted for the guy with the hope that those around him would steer him in a logical direction, but either they aren't able to or (and this is my theory) there are multiple factions within the Trump admin that are vying for his ear at all times.

1960s Democrat populist policies. Yes, he's never waivered from them.
He's not a capitalist, hes a mercantilist. Its his true belief.

mercantilism, economic theory and practice common in Europe from the 16th to the 18th century that promoted governmental regulation of a nation’s economy for the purpose of augmenting state power at the expense of rival national powers.
Mercantilism is not valid in the modern economy.

He said families making less than 100k, so that’s $2k per household IF household total come is less than $100K.
Not per person.

Correct. If SCOTUS rules the tariffs are illegal, we’re going to end up using that money to pay other countries and producers back.

No "countries" paid these tariffs.

Which is why I followed it with “producers”. The tariffs were issued by country, not company/producer/exporter.
