I have no idea what constitutes a "working family." For all I know it requires that someone in your home wear plaid and drive a pickup truck. What if you're recently retired? What if you're between jobs? It would seem to me that everyone in the country affected by Trump's tariffs should be due at least some portion of his "rebate." Fat chance that happens though.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday that working families would receive the $2,000 tariff checks proposed by President Trump.
[The dividends] would be for working families. We will have an income limit, Bessent told host Maria Bartiromo on Fox Newss Sunday Morning Futures.

Unfortunately most of the fake Jesus crowd will completely exonerate all the old rich men fucking little girls. Some MAGAs would sell their own little girl for that, to sacrifice her to their lord Trump. He always tries to pay off his accusers or potential witnesses to his shit. Or silence them, permanently.

(2,496 posts)I think there will be checks. But, I also think they'll be distributed in some manner so fucked up beyond belief that it'll backfire and engender even more discontent towards Trump.

(719 posts)but I just don't see how this would ever get through Congress.
Question is, what do we do with the checks if they do go out? Two grand is two grand, and beef if $10/lb.
