Trump Considers Rebate Checks Funded by Tariff Revenue
Former President Trump has announced that he is exploring the possibility of issuing rebate checks to Americans, funded by the substantial revenues generated from tariffs. With tariff income exceeding $100 billion this fiscal year, Trump suggests these rebates could benefit certain income levels, hinting at a cash giveaway for middle-income Americans. The idea has garnered mixed reactions, with some experts noting challenges in implementation. Senators, including Josh Hawley, are also pushing for similar measures to provide financial relief to taxpayers amid rising costs.
