Trump’s $5K Promise. Dividend or Vote Buying?

9/10/2026 4:45pm

I'm not a big fan of going further in debt  ,at least this trillion will get passed around. Nobody has a clue what happened to the trillion that biden took out for the infrastructure bill.

I think they only complained when they only got $1,200. And he said you already got $800.

I think it's more like Biden promising  $10,000.00 in student loan forgiveness during the 20' campaign. I really don't see a big difference but then again, I didn't vote for either one.

Providing any kind of cover for Trump does sting a bit but like I said, I didn't vote for either one of those guys. And it's really not cover. It's just a whataboutism and always just confirms the criticism which seems to be lost on most of the people that play that card. If hypocrisy, amongst politicians and other party faithful, had even minute monetary value, the government would have been able to pay off the debt with it long ago.

A dividend is a distribution of profits. There are no profits, quite the opposite. That leaves a vote buy. A big one.

It's a distribution of the profits from the Strait of Hormuz, I mean the Strait of America.

We don't have to speculate on who's going to be a future whore, who here didn't cash their covid checks? We all know "free" money is bad, so who didn't cash them?

I know that $5000  checks is going to be harmful for the country, but everyone's going to cash them, so me not cashing it does absolutely nothing, in which case I may as well cash it. 

We all know buying stuff from China is bad for America, so who here has no China stuff in their house? Is it even possible for us to be posting here right now without supporting China? 

The structure of the world today is such that it's nearly impossible to not be a hypocrite, but that has no bearing on whether or not we'd vote to change that, because I bet all of us here would.

Yes, like everyone else, I cashed the checks. Even though I was intelligent enough to figure out that we were driving off of an inflation cliff. And here we are……

That's answering a nonexistent question though.

Guess I misread the above then. Not everyone received COVID money; some of us worked somewhat normally. A couple of gents got sent away just the other day for covid/ppp dealio.

How is it any different than Biden dangling the carrot to wiping out all college debt or handing out money to illegals…….?

So the government that steals half of my income, now has the audacity to try to bribe me to vote a certain way by offering to return a pathetically low percentage of my stolen property to me?  

 

Ya, Trump can fuck right off, and so can the Dems for trying to bribe people with all of their other idiotic schemes.  The Republicans deserve every single seat that they lose in the midterms, and it would take a hell of a compelling reason to ever get me to vote again after the disaster these last two administrations have been.  Absolutely kills me that I have to live with the fact that I voted for this POS for the rest of my life, like an albatross around the neck.

I dunno about giving cash to illegals, but we know some student debt was wiped out and I always like things that challenge hypocrisy. But, the comparison is a catch 22 for either of the two gaystream parties, because it's the same, yet each respective voter loves one and hates the other, while simultaneously saying it's the same. All they're really doing is exclaiming, "I'm expressing my hypocrisy while trying to call out hypocrisy".

As a Democrat I think we should allow our tax money to continue to go to fraud. It just makes no sense to give taxpayers their money back.

If your goal is to win, and you see the other side did something successfully, you'd cripple yourself to not do the same thing. You can call it what about ism, or you can call it playing by the new rules the other side implemented. Either way, Trump didn't originate it.
