BlockBeats News, November 9th, KobeissiLetter published a detailed market analysis regarding the “Trump $2000 Per Capita Tariff Bonus,” stating that President Trump has just announced the “Tariff Bonus,” where each American can receive at least $2000. It is expected that over 85% of American adults will receive this payment, with a total distribution exceeding $400 billion. Meanwhile, U.S. debt is nearing $40 trillion, and the economic impact of this large-scale “stimulus” payment is significant.
Firstly, who will receive this payment? The most recent stimulus payment was the $1400 stimulus check in March 2021. The full amount is only paid to: individuals with an annual income not exceeding $75,000, households with an annual income not exceeding $112,500, and married individuals with an annual income not exceeding $150,000. The same criteria will apply in 2025: currently, approximately 220 million American adults meet these income standards.
Just as the 2021 stimulus check significantly boosted consumption, however, after a one-time “stimulus,” there is often a prolonged period of high inflation. Following the last round of stimulus measures, the U.S. inflation rate approached 10%. Monetary stimuli only add fuel to the fire, and the U.S. has never introduced such a large-scale stimulus plan while the stock market is near historic highs. Ultimately, stimulus payments almost always turn into large amounts of “involuntary taxation,” and Americans will ultimately pay several times the amount of the stimulus subsidy received in the form of inflation.
