Just ballparking that there are 250 million non-high-earners, at $2k a pop that’s $500 billion. Two thousand dollars won’t change anyone’s life, but $500bn is a big chunk of the federal budget.
$2k is a whole lot of money, especially if you consider that most people will immediately spend it, so other people will earn it. a dollar goes much further than only one dollar if it moves through many hands.
also, what do you think is the total cost that tariffs have cost you since january?

Sorry, I didn’t mean to trivialize that amount of money.
