Trump promises $2000 tariff dividend to all Americans

[wing2000]

What do the latest promised checks for veterans bring the total to? Anyone keeping a tally. DOGE, tariff, freedom check, I missing any?

+ relief for farmers.

This is much better than how the socialist Democrats just give away money that isn't their's in order to buy favor and votes.

The $1,776 for the military has a price tag of about $2.5 billion.

I think you forgot to mention all that money that's not going to global aid.

Wasn't it like 50 billion in foreign aid?

That increases the money taken in by tariffs how?

Some people don't realise that there's often two reasons for asking a question of someone. The first is to see if they can answer. The second is to show that they can't.

And there is the third reason - genuine curiosity. Not everyone manipulates with questions.

Military housing doesn't need any money, it's been more than adequate for the troops.

Is Kristi Noem staying in military housing? Is that a perk for her or does she reimburse?

Perk, she gets free housing.

This approaches Peak-Poe.

You must be so proud:

More than 14 million people could die from US foreign aid cuts, study finds

A study published in the Lancet journal projected more than 14 million of the world's most vulnerable people could die because of the Trump administration's dismantling of the US Agency for International Development .

www.abc.net.au

'Looking back over data from 133 nations, the international team of researchers estimated that USAID funding had prevented 91 million deaths in developing countries between 2001 and 2021.

They also used modelling to project how funding being slashed by 83 per cent — the figure announced by the United States government earlier this year — could affect death rates.

Projections found the cuts could lead to more than 14 million avoidable deaths by 2030.'

That's a good thing, because that same fund was already raided to help pay the troops during the shutdown in October.

From here: https://capitaloneshopping.com/research/pet-spending-statistics/

Americans will spend a total of $157 billion on their pets by the end of 2025; according to projections, U.S. pet spending will total almost $200 billion in 2030.

So you spend less than a third saving millions from starving each year than you spend keeping your pets fed. And you celebrate it when that money is cancelled? Explain the Christian morality aspect of that for me. I'm kinda struggling with it a little.

Something tells me that not many people know what the aid was in terms of GDP. I wouldn't blame anyone if they didn't. But if they were told is was around a miserly 0.2% and they still wanted it cancelled, knowing what it would cost in human terms then my opinion of them would likely reflect that fact.

And there is the third reason - genuine curiosity. Not everyone manipulates with questions.

If one already knows the answer, and that answer is in no doubt, then asking the question is to find out if the other person is prepared to answer. An example?

'Where does the fentanyl come from that finds its way into the US?'

Try that in the relevant thread with people who think that blowing up boats from Venezuela is solving the fentanyl problem. See what you response you get.

Now...back to the tariff dividends.

....yea, why is the government providing housing to the military in the first place? Let the proud citizens of the USA demonstrate their patriotism by providing room and board to the U.S. military.
