Dave, if Biden or Obama would have offered 5 thousand dollar bribes to vote Democrat, your reaction would have been...?
Again, Trump is not going into debt, writing checks with money paid by further deficit to China. He is essentially offering dividends on U.S. profit, brought in by Trump policy, that every taxpayer will receive, whether they vote Republican in the mid-term elections or not. It's not a case of "Vote Republican, or you won't get a check."
And as I said, W. Bush, Obama, and Biden all sent out checks to all U.S. citizens as well. And THOSE checks were paid for by further debt to China, added to the U.S. national debt.
Frankly, I would rather see that $5,000 per person retained to partially pay off the $40-plus trillion in debt. But Trump makes clear it is essentially a rebate, not further debt.
