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).
So where is the money i see i should get but have not got it?
Would like to know where we go to see if we qualify. And, how about getting gas and diesel prices way down?? How about building a pipeline down into Florida to help drop the costs of fuel??
THIS will be a GREAT BOON indeed.
Yes, I would like to see the $ 2000. stimulous come true.
I just turned 70, sounds like a lot of uncertainty as far as whether or not it’s beneficial.
I am 73 and my husband is 74, I pray we will qualify. We have had a couple of hard years. Bless you President Trump. MAGA!!!!!!!
When do we apply for this to see if we are eligible?
