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.
You moron. Social security IS socialism. Medicaid st 65 IS socialism. You have been brainwashed to think it is bad.
I feel for you. I hope you didn’t vote for Trump’ because there is no relief check coming.
So in short NO
Just wait until the socialist take over, you think we have it bad now?when they get in office we are doomed you won’t be able to pay for anything,
All this important Information just to SAY , Stimulants are NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
Let’s leave the facts about politics and the financial realities behind the proposal. If Trump wants to help the American people do somethings positive for once in your lifetime. Greedy person like yourself will never be satisfy how much money you have. When you die you take nothing with you and the dirt that covers your grave. If you have a heart do the right thing for the people,
Amen!
Ivermectin, chemo is a military weapon
I totally agree, I’m battled cancer three times, now I have lung cancer. I can’t get help from cancer care sevices until I start treatments. I get just right at 1000.00 I get SSI and ssdi. I lost my RV and two weeks later. My vehicle went. I haven’t been to my oncologist for two weeks now. Due to the fact I’m trying to make sure I don’t lose my room. At the seagoville inn. In Texas.. I was staying with my cousin, and paying her rent for the pass 5 months. But had to leave. Because her husband was ready for me to go. .
I had my own business. I had a cleaning service. A Southern Touch Cleaning Services. Out of keene Texas. I’ve lost everything. 2005 I had stage 4 breast cancer. Which I was in a coma for 7 days. In which I beat that. A year later I started my own business. 2019 I was diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer. That almost took my life. To 2023 I was diagnosed with breast cancer again. And had a left mastectomy. To Feb 2026. I was diagnosed with lung cancer. Was doing my treatments til about three weeks ago. I haven’t been able to make my appointment.
$1,010.00 a month. Does not help me with rent. Getting my vehicle fixed!! I’m grateful, I get something but it not enough.
So I totally agree with you .

Paying Back The Social Security And Giving Seniors And Veterans A 10% Monthly Raise I Agree With! No Property Taxes For Seniors Or Veterans I Agree With Except It Needs To Be Only Disabled Veterans That Are On Disability Or Veterans That Are Over 65. Not Just Any Veteran. The Rest Of Your Financial Plan Sounds Like A Democratic Financial Plan. Most Of This Country Probably 80 To 85% Make Under $100,000 A Year. So Those People Only Paying 5% In Federal Taxes Plus All The Other Tax Breaks That You’re Lining Just How The F..k Is This Country Going To Survive With Almost As Much Going Out As Coming! Our Tax Rate Should Be Set For Everyone At 10 To 15% No Matter How Much You Make! The Higher Wage Earners Are Still Paying More Because If You Earn One Million You Pay $100,000 Or $150,000 You Earn $100,000 You Pay $10,000 Or $15,000 That’s What Needs To Happen There Then You Have Your $500 Tax Credit That You Want For Vehicle Registrations! As Far As Giving The Military More Money Shit My Stepson Makes $120,000 A Year In The Navy Stateside Already! $130,000 A Year If He’s In The Persian Gulf And He Isn’t Even Retired Yet So His Pay Isn’t Even Topped Out Yet! Shit I Made About $24,000 A Year When I Was In The Military! The Military Nowadays Makes More Then Enough Money! It’s More Like A Damn Job Then The Military! He Can Call In Sick And Not Show Up For The Day! When I Was In You Showed Up Whether You Were Sick Or Not Then They’d Either Send You To Sick Hall Or To The Barracks! So The Rest Of That Financial Plan Is Bullshit!
