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.
How’s the national debt and stagflation, Don?
Take your $5k and shove it up your ass. Tossing us crumbs to distract us from your total disaster of a presidency.
What an economic moron.
The real economic morons are the ones who are excited that they are getting $5k if the repubs stay in congress.
And this. $5k means nothing with stagflation and worsening conditions for workers, no plan to address climate change, massive economic inequality, out of control healthcare costs, ballooning deficit due to insane, needless military spending, disgusting fascism, blatant corruption. etc.
$5k is like two months rent for some people. Okay, what then? Back to the same old usual shit.
They won’t fucking get 5k
And that all assumes a complete change of heart from the GOP that hasn’t paid those doge checks or tarriff refunds.
Yeah $5k for every American with no new taxes is just a massive burst in inflation. It can be done strategically in a situation like covid where the economy needs to be maintained from collapse due to a temporary situation of no work, but that’s about it.
In a depression you spend money, but you do it by making jobs to get nice to haves.
