Legal and Political Roadblocks
Even if the administration wants to move forward, there are two major hurdles: the courts and Congress.
Supreme Court Challenges
The U.S. Supreme Court is currently reviewing the legal foundation for many of Trump’s tariffs, which rely on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). If the court rules against the administration, large portions of the tariff program could be rolled back — eliminating the very revenue source funding the proposed checks.
Some justices have even raised the possibility of tariff refunds to importers if the policy is overturned, which would further drain government coffers.
Congressional Approval
Any direct payment program would require Congressional authorization. While Senator Josh Hawley has proposed a smaller-scale version — offering rebates of at least $600 per adult and child — his bill has stalled.
Without bipartisan support, the likelihood of a fast-track stimulus-style program remains low.
IT IS GOOD FOR THE HANDYCAP PERSON>
Overnight stores and gas station automatically raise the prices of gas without them paying at a higher cost ! What a joke ! Over charge customer at the pump when the war just started ! Given an excuse to charge customer at will !!!!
Thanks to dump in Iran gas isn’t $2.50 a gallon anymore. It’s now $3.50.
Are you just really stupid? He was drowning in the blood of all the people he killed (foreign and his own people). He should have been taken out 45 years ago, unfortunately no one until Trump had the balls to do it. You should be greatful just like the Iranian people are.
You are really blind, what world are you living in!?
