Economists Warn Trump's $5,000 Dividend Plan Could Harm Economy
Economists and some political figures have raised concerns about former President Donald Trump's proposal to give Americans a $5,000 "dividend." Critics argue the plan could reignite inflation and significantly swell the U.S. deficit, with one estimate suggesting it would create a $1.15 trillion hole. The proposal has faced immediate pushback from both Republicans and Democrats, with some calling it a "bribe." The plan is seen by some as a major election gambit.
