$5,000 to each citizen if GOP wins. That sounds illegal to me.

Actually, Waco is right.

Where is the $1.3 trillion going to come from to pay for Trump's midterms vote buying checks? You Trump worshippers have to be the most gullible bunch of people I have ever seen in my 63 years of life.
Call it a tax, the people are outraged! Call it a tariff, the people get out their checkbooks and wave their American flags!!!

You should ask your President. He is the one in power and could do something if he had any interest. But he has zero interest.

He can make doctors and nurses work for free? Make construction companies build hospitals for free? I feel like that's a 13th amendment problem.

Whether it comes to Trump's $5,000 vote buying checks or free healthcare, I will ask the question again. Where is the money going to come from?

Same places it always comes from. They take an absolute **** ton of money from me every year, and mostly they just give it to other people. Then they also borrow a whole bunch of money that they mostly give to people.

It's wrong no matter who does it. I thought it the low moment of Trump's speech (along with his narcissism). But it's also typical politics and, as pointed out, the Left does it all the time.

Economically, it would only make sense if we had a balanced budget and surplus for several years and the foreseeable future. We are nowhere close to that.

Here's an interesting article in it:

So you have no problem with Trump paying for your $5,000 Trump Midterms dividend check with your own money? Interesting. I certainly have a problem with it.

Your candidate for governor is doing the same thing with the state's rainy day fund.

Your party invented smokes for votes.

The fact that Trump is using your playbook against you is hilarious.

Where did I say that?

I think it's idiotic, but it's also less than 1% of what they take from me every year anyway and give to other people.

And some heroin addict living under a bridge has a vote that is worth just as much as mine.

Ain't democracy great?

Trump has no authority to pay $5,000 per person besides, he doesn't pay his bills. You're a fool if you believe this will happen.

There was never an Obamahone. There was a Trump phone. People paid deposits for it. Never received.

Under Obama & Biden, the federal govt was giving free cell phones to illegals (& others?). I think Trump stopped it but I'm not sure.

Two things:

1. Correct. Trump does not have the ability as President to do this . . . which is why he wants people to elect a complete Republican Congress.

2. Media. The point of this stunt is not to give out $5,000, it is to get free news headlines and to flip the Democrat's script. You now have a party that has done nothing but promise freebies for the past 60 years now coming out against freebies.

NOW it becomes a problem when Trump says something?

Some call it TDS

Like a lot of things, you just have to put a little bit of lipstick on the pig, then it's not illegal.

No. We don't have a system that will prosecute him for any crime.

Remember, we have a DOJ that offered him a $1.87B settlement for a breach that happened on his watch. The settlement included immunity from IRS investigation.

About 2/3 of our federal budget is redistribution or transfer payments. Maybe more. And about 40% of people don't pay any income tax. But it's illegal to buy votes. OK.

I bilieve we need to balance the Federal budget. We currently have a $40T debt. I see a $50T debt on the near horizon.

If you really don't see the difference, there's not much I can say.

But, by all means, keep playing your stupid game. The idiots love it.

100%, but neither party has the balls to do it.

The Democrats love to chirp about it when there is a Republican administration while promising more goodies to voters.

I would ask you to explain the difference, but we both know that will not happen.

Democrats do a much better job on the budget than republicans.

No one has been as reckless as Trump. 1/3 of the 40T deficit has happened on his watch.

Under U.S. federal law, specifically 18 U.S. Code 597, it is a federal crime to make or offer an expenditure to any person to influence their vote, to withhold their vote, or to vote for or against a specific candidate. It is also illegal for a citizen to solicit or accept such a payment.
