to go out and max out his credit cards before tariffs kick in. Because he can pay them off with his rebate check.
That’s what I do. Since we know the checks are coming, why not buy that new barbecue now?

Gives them too much time to think. You want to encourage that impulse purchase. Get them to pull out the card right now.
“ I hear checks are going out before April 15th. Can’t wait to pay off my credit card. Hey did you hear about the big sale down at Burt’s Boats?”
They’re not that creative. Gotta give them ideas!

to prop up Repubs chances of retaining Congress. I've read some finance articles by Repubs who aren't worried because they think since we got through 9/11, the Bush Great Recession and Covid, another Republican disaster will be manageable with plenty of bailouts this time around too.
