$600 to help families deal with the costs of rising goods contributed to by the illegal and inane tariffs @snarlcakes 👀
Oh, we're buying votes again while we're now **checks notes** $40t in debt. Great. Just great.

Lol... The Hill 🤣 I guess the bill was introduced in July of 2025. And at first glance would have been a really good bill if you plan on implementing tariffs. Tariffs should have always been tied to either income tax cuts or something like Hawley's bill. The GOP f#cked up.
Putting that aside there will be no stimulus because the economy is doing fine. And the reason is because the economy doesn't give a sh#t about a teeny tiny little itty bitty tax, called tariffs 😁
Grok:
Yes. U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) introduced the American Worker Rebate Act of 2025 (S.2475) on July 28, 2025. hawley.senate.gov
The bill would create a refundable tax credit (structured similarly to the 2020 COVID-era direct payments) funded by tariff revenue. It would provide a rebate of at least $600 per eligible adult and dependent child for the first taxable year beginning in 2025 (e.g., $2,400 for a family of four), with the possibility of a larger amount if tariff proceeds exceed projections. congress.gov
Key details include:
• Income-based reductions (a 5% phase-out starting above roughly $75,000 for individuals, $112,500 for heads of household, and $150,000 for joint filers).
• Eligibility generally for working Americans/U.S. taxpayers (with exclusions such as nonresident aliens and those claimed as dependents by others).
• Funding tied to tariff proceeds, following Trump administration comments about potentially using some of that revenue for a “little rebate.” forbes.com

The Hill is posting slop. The bill was from July 2025 and tied to tariff revenue. It went nowhere in Congress.
@snarlcakes right but now it’s being pushed again. In part bc people are broke. In part bc the ill advised tariffs raised costs
When are we going to realize that debt is a problem (>40 trillion $$$$s) and endless freebies / quick fixes to bad policy are not helping?

Left wing propagandists recycling old news doesn't equate to being pushed again or what you posted. I'd argue the opposite, because if everything was sh#t they'd just post that data. However, they can't because the economy isn't sh#t. It's humming along fine. By the way that's a good thing.
@snarlcakes the hill is very much middle of the road. If anything lists right
I'm willing to place a small wager Trump tries to push "tariff spoils checks" out before midterms.Oh, we're buying votes again while we're now **checks notes** $40t in debt. Great. Just great.

@larsiu no. Dems are doubling down with dsa. They’ve only gotten dumber since the worst administration in U.S. history

Trump says all sorts of sh#t, so it's not a fair bet. Nothing is getting passed because there isn't any tariff revenue currently. It's one of several reasons why the original article is complete leftwing trash. Anyhoo, I'll still take the bet. Beer on me for an IU game of your choosing in Hamilton Country. And it can't be a ghey IU soccer game. Only football or basketball.

It's a problem for whom? Once you figure that out, act accordingly.
