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, insisting the government can afford the plan.
- 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 $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 $7 trillion government spending in fiscal 2025.
- 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 that 'the devil's in the details' and Congress must approve payments, while Ohio Republican Senator Bernie Moreno pledged to draft legislation for the dividend.
