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).
I need it
Thanks
still waiting for the promises maybe some day will get it
Waiting for it as I had read about it a few times already.
If I qualify I would surely take it. More money to donate to all kinds of causes, so I canuse my own fund to buy me better food to eat.
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.
