Episode notes
President Trump promised a $5,000 “Trump Dividend” to every adult citizen if Republicans keep Congress — a one-year hit the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget puts at $1.2 trillion. Jim Rand walks through the $40.1 trillion national debt, tariff revenue under $200 billion, a deficit that would jump toward 9.4 percent of GDP, and why a 26-year-old should treat a campaign check as inflation with a bow on it, not a paycheck.
