How the numbers look
Here are some of the fiscal realities:
- In Fiscal Year 2025, the U.S. government collected about $195 billion in customs duties (tariffs).
- Some independent analyses project that tariffs announced by the administration could raise about $2.5 trillion over the period 2026-2035.
- A calculation by the nonpartisan group suggests that if the $2,000 payment were made to Americans earning under $100,000, the cost would be around $300 billion.
- Another analysis noted that although tariffs raise revenue, they also generate economic costs (higher prices for consumers, slower growth), and therefore net fiscal benefit is lower than the gross collections.
So while tariff revenue is non-trivial, the cost of a broad $2,000 payment program could approach or exceed what is available (or at least what can safely be assumed to be available).
since the took away my Medicaid and lost my part time job i lost a total of 11 thousand dollars in income—-i am 84 years old and they make me look like a Somalie Criminal trying to defraud the government for my meager 11 thousand dollars—my parents were US Air Force Liasons that Received Silver Medals from the Far East Command in Post WWII and a Silver Star for their work in Asia and Korea–they finished their work Entertaining at the Air War College in Montgomery Alabama in 1961—–let me take 11 thousand dollars from your income of 32 thousand dollars and see how you survive
Could really use this. Thanks
How is this sent out to the people… that are in need…
What month would this come out?
I am probably only one of the individuals in need of this stimulus support. Especially in lieu of how the economy is steadily raising prices on food and gasoline not to mention others. As a hard working tax payer for more than 50 years, it is only fair that we the American citizens receive this promised stimulus payment soo.
I really hope I qualify, I can really use it.
