Trump's $2,000 "dividend payments" aren't in the news today.

That idea has been floated before. Then, there were the DOGE rebate checks.

The sales pitch for "supply side economics", since the 80s, has been "let us do something that will hurt you or your neighbors, now, and you will get goodies later". That is essentially the con I got from bosses over the years: invitations for me to cut my throat now, for their benefit, and I would receive goodies later. Of course, when later came, he always had an excuse why he couldn't deliver the goodies, but, now, he had another ask.
