Description

President Trump doubled down on an idea to send $2,000 checks to millions of Americans. He has offered no specifics, but Trump suggested the government could send that money to low and middle-income Americans and still have enough tariff revenue left to make a dent in the national debt. Most experts say that math doesn’t add up. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Erica York of the Tax Foundation. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast.
