A “tariff rebate check” is like setting your kitchen on fire and then mailing yourself a bucket of water. There's an easier way to avoid the burn.

Since we've decided to tax anyway, why not do it efficiently and tax the wealthy rather than middle class? Like, a wealth tax. 2% each year on the $43T owned by top 1% would bring in roughly $8T. It may even spur growth by lowering interest rates, such as in '90's.

That's $4 trillion over a decade, $400 billion per year. Less than 25% of the annual deficit and only 1.1% of the total US debt load. Not enough to pay the interest on the debt. Higher interest rates, necessary to combat inflation caused by the tariffs, will wipe out all the tariff income.

It’s amazing to me how a Nazi dictator can take over the US government using threats and intimidation tactics against its own party members to maintain power.I would think there would be no place in America for such a party.but I guess the Republicans proved me wrong.

Paying down the debt, lol. They've been wanting a national sales tax to take the places of income taxes for a long time and found a way to do it. #Tariffs

You don't "pay down the debt", with billionaire tax cuts, multi-million dollar Qatar gift jet renovations, ballroom annexes, photo-op fly-overs for Putin, troop deployments to American cities, and ubiquitous golf games!

Plus even with the tariff revenue last month they increased the debt and the deficit. That is all before slowing economy which ultimately lead to even less revenue from income taxes.

And those rebate checks are largely going to go right back into the economy and drive inflation up even more, right?

Essentially, what the administration is saying, American citizens will pay off the Government debt. Only in case the plan works and Americans are not bankrupted by then. And then at the same time they go out and call countries with reasonable taxes "commies".

Bessent is a fucking weirdo with the personality of a slug. He and Trump never intend to give rebates to average Americans because they did what they said they’d do, which is to give wealthy people massive tax breaks.

It's like if the private equity company that bought Red Lobster were given control of our government. What percentage of Americans understand any of this? Is it even 10%? Sad and scary.

Whether it be tariffs, accepting a $400 million dollar plane, crypto currency, stock market manipulation, etc. Trump entered this term on a power trip with the intention of enriching his personal wealth and retribution against his improvised enemies…nothing else matters to him.
