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.
This generates more incentive for the politicians to keep the people poor. The poorer the people are, the cheaper winning a vote is since less money will be enough motivation to sway them
The democrats should offer $7500.
Bid for my vote!
Make it $10k, bring back graduated corporate taxes (with global consolidated income to prevent ferreting away income in a plethora of international subsidiaries), and actually pledge to solving the debt and I’m sold.
Hahahaha.
You want to add over two trillion to the debt and a promise to solve it?
I would pray to God that he loses, but God created this mess in the first place.
This is a train with no brakes and I’m just along for the ride.
