Donald Trump pledged Wednesday to send every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections, an extraordinary gambit to reverse his party’s sagging fortunes in November.
The dubious promise would likely cost more than $1 trillion and require congressional approval, and would further exacerbate the country’s nearly $1.8 trillion annual budget deficit and concerns about inflation.
He won’t do it.
But good grief think how fucked we are that $5K is an amount that makes people salivate.
how pathetic that half the median global annual income makes salivate.
Okay but that’s not how economics works.
your inexperience with poverty and living in other countries is not their inexperience with poverty and living in other countries
Does not change the fact that that isn’t how economics WORKS.
