I remember empty promises of DOGE rebate checks, too. They were estimated @ $5000 each. What’s that saying again? Oh, right- “Promises made, promises kept.” But is there any “bread?” No. Circus? Yes. That part of the promise will always be kept.

A little over 150 million federal income tax filers. Let’s eliminate 50 million, just for giggles. Thats $200 BILLION in rebate checks @ $2000 each to the remaining 100 million tax payers eligible for this “rebate.” And let’s not forget the stated purpose(s) of tariffs in the first place.

People need instant gratification, paying off the debt and saying you’ll reap the rewards when it’s paid isn’t going to get you votes in today’s “have to have it now” culture. Most people will buy a big screen TV or PS5.

If you bought $1200 worth of Bitcoin with the stimulus check, it’d be worth $21,000 today.

Keep the $2,000.00 and drain the swamp! Start arresting and prosecuting, oh yeah, release the Epstein documents. Promises have been made. Clean up this stinking cesspool of a government and ninety percent of the rest of this shit goes away or takes care of itself. More and more as every day passes, it seems to be taking on the same old visage of same old same old and no amount of money and hot air will not change that, action, only action will work.

If this actually happens. I'm going to take that 2 grand and replace the money that I'm about to spend replacing my old snow blower with a new one, and rebuilding/replacing one of my plow motors and pump.

I live in the middle of the snowbelt. I get it here from both Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. :confused:

Trump made the money from tariffs , nobody else ever did. Most never heard of a tariff til 2016…. But now they’re all experts on them :rolleyes:

The thing I find more ironic is that the left has been screaming "tax the corporations" for decades now.

But when Trump *does* that, suddenly they discover that they'll just pass them on to consumers ?

How bad does your cognitive dissonance and TDS have to be to think a mega corp will pass Trump taxes on to consumers, but not any other taxes ?

Well yeah because if you tariff them they pass the cost onto the consumer, but if you tax them the corporation absorbs the cost so taxing them is better.

Of course this is sarcasm

I still haven't gotten my heck from NYS...I was going to eat with that since snap was cut off.
As pointed out above, it would make more sense to pay off the debt owed than send money back unless the thought is/was "stimulus" money (which didn't work out either)...I know we're talking Federal, but how many Billions is NY in the Red and still wants to buy votes?
