JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Re: The future of the Republican Party
« Last post by John Corbett on Today at 10:55:13 AM »You obviously did Not hear what Trump actually said about the $5,000. Do NOT rely on, "The View", "Morning Joe" and the other Fake News Sources that spew the garbage that you are now repeating. This $5,000, is Not a "handout". Trump described it as a "Dividend". Trump promised a "dividend" way back when he 1st imposed taxes on Canadian Goods.
I can't remember where I first heard it but it's a bad idea not matter what you call it. If the government hands out $5000 checks and doesn't offset it with cuts in other areas, it's going to be inflationary. If there is a windfall from the tariffs, I'd rather see it used to pay down the debt which would have a cooling effect on inflation and benefit the American people every bit as much as a handout. But since this is an election year, paying down the debt wouldn't make as big a splash as "free money". People don't understand that it's zero sum game. The more dollars the government puts into circulation, the less purchasing power those dollars will have.
