It's just theater. He knows it's not going to pass.
Send us checks using our tax💰iot buy us off, as a way to distract us from price hikes? Is this #Hawley ‘s plan? Am I getting that right? An~$34B bailout of sorts?!😱 How stupid does he think we are? @whitehouse.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @daveminca.bsky.social @padilla.senate.gov
And also this fucking guy is a nazi scumbag who helped coordinate J6 terrorists Fuck Josh Hawley
Trying to bribe away the fact Trump raped children with his BFF Epstein
Lots of pain coming to KS in the BBB
Wait, wait, wait. I was told we were doing tarrifs to pay down the debt. These people are all over the place.
Confused. Someone said tariffs would make us rich. And also that we didn’t pay tariffs. So why send us a check? Snark. I know tariffs are making us spend more for everything we need to live day to day. This $600 will not compensate for the tariffs we are paying
SMDH. All of his crap is so expensive and self-contradictory and stupid. 2025 is a wasted year. Not sure karma will allow us many more of these desecrations.
Why would you charge tariffs, & then turn around & give them back? Wouldn’t it make more sense to just not have tariffs in the first place?
Why do they need a rebate if the other countries pay the tariff? Are they finally admitting Trump is making the citizens ‘pay to do business’ in the United States? He thinks Americans are so gullible that they will pay the tax and not even know he is collecting it from them!
Same story, push Americans into the sea, then dive in to save them .. followed quickly by a demand for applause. To surprise of us on the outside, they receive it (rather being arrested for assault)
but i thought the tariffs were gonna make us all richer
Well the tariffs are being paid by the American people so kind of makes sense. But Trump would never allow it. And this is a dictatorship.
Idiots. Tax Americans then pay them. This will require a new bureaucracy. I thought point was to cut back.
So, handouts?
I am confused by this! Why would Americans need rebate checks if foreign governments are paying for the tariffs, making us all richer here in the U.S.? :)
So is this means tested as well ? Or is it going to everyone and doesn’t this suggest he knows tariffs are hurting families and small businesses and are not being paid for by the countries of origin ?
Is he up for reelection this year? Since he knows he won’t be able to change the Medicaid cuts maybe this is his way of keeping his constituents from being too angry at him.
No we made the mistake of reelecting him in 2024
So, what’s the point of tariffs? Wouldn’t that also incentivize the company or the importer to just pass the cost along to the consumer?
