The Hidden Cost of Tariffs
While tariffs bring in government revenue, they also raise prices on imported goods — from electronics to clothing to auto parts. Those higher costs are often passed directly to consumers.
That means Americans are, in effect, funding their own dividend checks through higher prices at the checkout counter.
Economists warn this creates a cycle:
- Tariffs raise prices
- Consumers pay more
- Government collects more revenue
- Government sends back part of it
- Inflation risks increase
Investor Kevin O’Leary recently called the idea of tariff-funded checks a “short-term band-aid” that could worsen inflation rather than solve underlying economic problems.
actually my gut feeling tells me its not gonna happen. Its just a carott there dangling in our face to swade us to give them there votes they need want . I for 1 am sick & Tired of them throwin our tax money any where they can steal it but feed us stupid answers why nothing comes our way. So finally not to be used and tricked any more You Want My Vote you better give to us if you expect us to give back no promises or excuses. give 2 get if that hurts your feelings well how does it feel? Americans 1st
We had a very good chance on receiving the $$. However our United States Supreme court voted that it was not legal to do anything of the sort. So now we are paying back every penny that we received from other countries. Pop goes the Wizel!!!

You know you actual facts. We have plenty. The owners are doing this. It’s called price gouging. The only way to put a stop to it is strike at the pumps. In that I mean don’t by as much gas. Carpooling. You your hand to write it down. Their oil doesn’t cost them that much. They’ll tell you that they are only making a few cents on gas. I know the taxes are charged at the pump but you are paying their taxes, the owner of the store. They are getting petro cheap 🧐🧐🧐

Who that? If you think it’s Trump you’re dreaming go back to sleep and wake up.
Amen brother!!!!
I need a stimulus check on 63. I had a stroke. I can’t drive. And they say I can’t drive I live off of my husband’s Social Security leave off for 1100 a month and I’m trying to get disability right now but it’s a long white it would help me I need to have more marketplace for my insurance now they want me to pay. I can’t afford it so I don’t have insurance by the time I paid my bills so I don’t got no money for eight or medical so I live in my house so I don’t go nowhere do nowhere don’t know anything. I wish they would let me have one who would help me in so many ways.
I guess the critics are there to teach you something. It seems that yo don’t have the ability to add and substact. First the terrifs never took in enough money to payout 2000 per person. Second the courts have ruled that most of the terrifs were illegal, as most things this nut case does are, and therefore had to be returned. Interesting all the money you paid in terriffs now will goback to the companiers, nothing to the ones who actually paid it. I advice that you do checking of facts before you make stupid statements.
This would be nice.
