Republicans to Trump: No $2,000 tariff checks

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump wants to send $2,000 tariff checks to Americans next year.

But to do that, he'll have to get Congress to go along with it — and even some of his top allies are skeptical.

"We're facing a deficit this year around $2 trillion," Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin told reporters. "I think whatever revenue we get, from whatever source, ought to go to try and bring down those deficits."

Trump's proposed tariff checks have received a cool response from most Republicans on Capitol Hill, with many saying they'd prefer to see the national debt addressed first.

1. Every Repiglican in Congress knows there is NO tariff money coming into this country.

Much of the 2 trillion dollar deficit is from Trumps reckless spending and his theft of our tax dollars.

They don't have the balls to own it.

2. National debt? What's that?

Oh yeah, that's the debt that the Republicans voted to increase by trillions this year, and during the last Trump term.
It's just one more way of picking the pockets of the poor to give money to the rich.

Anyway, pass the hamberders. Who's playing sportsball today?

That will be their justification for stimulus checks.
