Today's Poll Question: Will Trump’s $5,000 Dividend Help Republicans—or Backfire?
from The Smerconish Podcast · host Michael Smerconish
Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Will Trump's $5000 dividend promise help Republicans in the midterms or will it backfire? President Trump is promising every adult U.S. citizen a $5,000 “dividend” if Republicans win the House and Senate—a proposal that could cost roughly $1.2 trillion. Michael examines the political calculation behind the pledge, the questions surrounding how it would work, and the striking contrast with a national debt approaching $40 trillion. Does putting money directly into voters’ pockets give Republicans a powerful midterm advantage, or does the promise look like fiscal recklessness—or even desperation—at exactly the wrong moment?
