Ideology is asking you what percentage should people pay in taxes and how much is considered theft/slavery and asking what high taxes has done in states like NY and cali for their wealth inequality and homelessness? Got itThose “questions” are actually your ideological beliefs which you are entitled to
Wouldn't be surprised if this is his endgame before another catastrophe that another president will fix up

I get it, you believe in trickle down economics. It doesn’t work though. I’m not a politician but maybe everyone should pay their fair share in taxes
The Presidential Task Force on the Auto Industry was an ad hoc group of United States cabinet-level and other officials that was formed by President Barack Obama to deal with the financial bailout of automakers Chrysler and General Motors.
I don't care about the spin. Obama agreed with bailing out big business/big banks and then bailed out Chrysler and GM himself when he got into office. Why are you okay with giving big business money when they "need help" but not the tax paying citizen?
Nothing I said was wrong, dummy. I said that Bush began the funding and Obama continued the policy once he entered office. Stop being so dishonest and pretending like you can't read.
I am okay with strong social safety nets but this isn't what that is. This is Musk looting the Federal government with zero authority or oversight, and dumbasses saying it's a good idea without considering the consequences.
The "everyday Joe Schmoe" was all over the internet flexing PPP money or flexing things bought with PPP money. What are you even talking about? And paid back to who? The taxpayers the money actually came from or the gov't? You do know some of those big banks/businesses that received bailout money in 08 used a lot of it to give themselves bonuses while laying off employees at the same time? Who convinced you that aid going to big business is okay but aid going to the average 9-5 citizen who you say gets "fukked over" by "the haves" is off limits. Make it make sense...
Damn, if I knew so little like you I would really shut the fukk up. While you might personally saw one or two people "flexing", or more likely, heard about a few people getting these loans and flexing, I can assure you the majority of claims with the larger dollar amounts (like $10 million each) went to big business, not just people with mom and pop stores. While there was some fraud caught on the lower level, the majority of those instances the loans were forgiven and never paid back. That's why it's so stupid to compare this to the TARP bailouts -- after loaning 400 billion dollars the treasury got back more and made a tiny profit, in addition to saving those industries and avoiding an even worse economic disaster. PPP loans gave out nearly $800 billion, and forgave $750 billion, adding a massive chunk to the deficit. Again, I'm not mad at these programs out of principle, but they need to be done in a more responsible way. We get that from normal administrations like Bush and Obama. We won't from the likes of Trump.
And also isn't it the "haves" that lobby the lawmakers into the positions they hold? Typing that bolded sentence and still twerking it up for political parties? Couldn't be me....
Yes, this is exactly the problem and why I think we desperately need campaign finance reform.
Okaying funding being given to big corporations/banks when they fail (because of their own actions) over citizens, who you already admit get "fukked over" by the "haves," is a Stockholm syndrome level of political simpery.
Okay this is more strawmanning.
No, I'm not.
Lol that's not I believe at all. That is MAGA.
I'm not going to debate somebody else's beliefs because you can't argue against my own.
lolHe should do it if he's not a punk ass bytch
Not so fast on getting that $5000...
Honestly Trump 2.0 has taught me how much they had to babysit this man during his first term. The last term only had 2 catastrophes despite all of the babysitting by the defence community, advisors, and career politicians. Can you imagine the amount of bullets we dodged as a nation?Wouldn't be surprised if this is his endgame before another catastrophe that another president will fix up
If he is already fcking up by firing the Dept of Energy people in charge of nukes on his second month, then this term might legitimately be a wrap for this country.
The next democrat president will be on a perpetual apology tour to the american public, foreign allies, military vets, senior citizens, etc .
Robbery.

Thats my problem with American politics. Instead of accepting good as its offered, things are declared good or bad depending on which political party is the one offering it. Romney care is seen as either good or bad until it became Obamacare, then the opinion gets flipped.
At that point its about empowering a specific political party no matter what over look at what's actually in the best interest of citizens
Except no one is doing that. I'm just pointing out that if this happens it won't happen in a vacuum.... meaning there will be economic consequences, both short and long term. We can talk about the merits of another stimulus, but you would rather finger point and blame a specific party, as if the other has no agency or say in the process. It's really how a child thinks about politics.

And speaking of that debt, if they’re that much in debt and nothing tangible is backing the currency, then what is the collateral for all the debt if not the people and all the labor they provide? Seems like the general population got sold out to someone somewhere but....
Taxes are based on income and the wealthiest people don't become as wealthy as they do based on "income." There are loopholes that allow the wealthy to hide the gains in wealth they make and that's where the complaints come in...

How much is a fair share? Top 10% already pays 70% of all taxes. Just be honest and say you want them to give up their wealth/networth

What people who argue about wealth don't get is these MFS don't have billions in liquid cash but rather their businesses and investments are worth billions. If bezos were to sell large amounts of shares of his company to "pay his fair share" that would cause everyone else to sell off Amazon stock and the price as a whole would plummet lolAnd speaking of that debt, if they’re that much in debt and nothing tangible is backing the currency, then what is the collateral for all the debt if not the people and all the labor they provide?

President Donald Trump
President Trump has suggested that as part of his tariff policy, he would consider sending out rebate checks or tariff refund checks to Americans, funded by the revenue collected from the tariffs imposed on imported goods. “We have so much money coming in, we’re thinking about a little rebate for people of a certain income level,” Trump told reporters Friday outside the White House. “A little rebate for people of a certain income level might be very nice.”
The rebate would be drawn from the significant amount of tariff revenue collected by the U.S. government—over $100 billion in the first half of 2025 alone, according to Treasury data.
Trump’s remarks about these rebate checks perhaps being targeted to Americans “of a certain income level” suggest they would likely be means-tested, but Trump offered few details about the exact income thresholds or amount of the rebate.
The stated purposes of the rebate are to compensate Americans who may have faced higher prices as a result of the tariffs and to potentially provide a small economic stimulus, which gives new meaning to Trump’s remarks about businesses “eating the tariffs,” with much economic debate over who is really footing the bill for them.
Any such rebate policy would likely require congressional approval, and lawmakers like Sen. Josh Hawley have indicated support for legislation that would deliver rebate checks to working Americans, but no bill text or timetable has been specified. If enacted, the administration would need to establish eligibility rules, application or automatic distribution methods, and payment logistics. This could resemble past stimulus check programs, but that is just theoretical at this point.
The rebate concept is distinct from legal or administrative tariff refunds to importers, which have been considered or mandated following court rulings questioning the legality of some tariffs. In such cases, refunds would go to the companies that paid the import duties, not directly to end consumers.
Is this legal?
Trump’s proposed tariff refund checks—rebates funded by tariff revenue and distributed directly to American consumers—would almost certainly require explicit legislation from Congress to be legally valid, given that the U.S. Constitution gives Congress—not the president—the power to levy tariffs and appropriate federal funds.
The president can impose certain tariffs under delegated statutory authorities, but courts have repeatedly found that the sweeping use of these powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) is not legal. Multiple recent court rulings (including a unanimous U.S. Court of International Trade decision) have blocked Trump’s broad tariffs for lacking legal basis under the IEEPA, yet the tariffs remain in place pending appeal and, theoretically, a Supreme Court ruling.
Trump’s busy July
The suggestion of tariff rebate checks or refund checks is another new policy suggestion from Trump in a July that has been full of them, as Washington, D.C., has been roiled by a metastasizing scandal involving disgraced deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Trump’s Justice Department is facing bipartisan criticism for its decision not to release the so-called Epstein files, which the Justice Department has said do not exist. The Wall Street Journal has published a series of scoops about Trump’s past closeness to Epstein, including Trump’s name being mentioned in the files.
In July, Trump said he had reached an agreement with Coca-Cola to bring real sugar back into the Coke formula, which the company partially confirmed days later. He also demanded the Washington Commanders football team revert to their former “Redskins” name, threatening political obstruction for their stadium project if they did not comply. He announced the release of 230,000 files related to Martin Luther King Jr. And he escalated his feud with the Federal Reserve and Chair Jerome Powell, visiting the in-process office renovations in a hard hat and engaging in a bizarre, comedic argument with Powell about cost overruns on live television.
