Trump’s proposed $2,000 tariff dividend check is being sold like a tax cut… but it’s not a tax cut at all. In fact, Republican senators know it would explode the national debt and signal that the economy is in deep trouble.In this episode, we break down: • Why a tariff check is a giant red flag for the economy • How politicians use stimulus-style payouts to save their own reelection bids • Why you can’t “pay down the debt” when Congress refuses to balance a budget • What actually happens when Washington starts dumping cash on voters • And the truth about Trump’s tariff numbers vs. real tariff revenue (spoiler: nowhere near “trillions”)If Washington is mailing out $2,000 checks, it means the economy has already hit the “break glass in case of emergency” stage. We’ve seen this movie before—Bush, Obama, COVID… all of it. And it never ends well.
