(9,335 posts)The only reason he has said he now has a solution for the Obamacare subsidies is because he is scared his party is going to lose control of things. He sees services for his subjects as little more than bribery.

(3,118 posts)would have to appropriate it. That's 600 billion out of the pockets of our precious billionaires, unless they raise the debt ceiling, which would add to the national debt. All that just to throw the peasants a bone that will be spent in 6 weeks catching up on bills.
It might give the stock market a brief boost, but in the end I don't think the billionaires would go for it.

(7,481 posts)$2,000?
Gosh! Smells of bribery and desperation.
Politicians used to prefer policy statements to attract voters.
Is this the New Way?
Anyhow, the cost of the tariffs probably works out to more than $2K per working & voting age people.
Does Trump still think tariffs are paid by other countries?
