Trump Calls $5,000 Payouts ‘Easy’ to Fit Into Federal Budget
Trump says the federal government can afford $5,000 checks for about 240 million adults if Republicans keep Congress.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump reiterated his promise to provide a $5,000 dividend to every adult in the United States if the Republican Party retains control of Congress, speaking from Ireland.
- Trump first unveiled the proposal at the Republican Party convention last week, which would cost roughly $1.2 trillion for approximately 240 million adult citizens amid a $40 trillion national debt.
- Marc Goldwein of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget warned the result would be a 'huge spike in the deficit, and almost certainly in the inflation rate,' citing about $7 trillion in government spending last fiscal year.
- Democratic politicians, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, dismissed the plan as not a 'serious proposal,' while New York Republican Representative Mike Lawler declined to commit, citing the $4 trillion debt.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson acknowledged on CNN's 'State of the Union' that 'the devil's in the details' and Congress must approve payments, though Ohio Republican Senator Bernie Moreno pledged to draft legislation for the dividend.
