(11,524 posts)Theres about 340 million people in the country. $2000 for each works out to $680 billion. The Treasury Department just announced Dumpie has taken in $195 billion in tariffs through September. Thats $21.66 billion per month. Rounding up to $22 thats $261 billion for the year.
That math aint mathing.

(11,524 posts)A dividend of at $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone.
He also said the countrys debt would be paid down with the Trillions of Dollars being taken in.
But even if its 270 million people, thats $540 billion on tariff revenue of $261 billion. Thats more than $2 for every dollar taken in.
