Trump proposes multibillion dollar handout to voters to end shutdown: ‘To the people!'

There are around 260 million adults in the U.S. as of 2024 according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and, with spending for Obamacare subsidies alone topping out at around $125 billion that same year, Trump’s proposal could see Americans each receive a check for at least $481. If Trump’s proposal included all of the government’s spending on health care, which in 2023 was about $1.6 trillion, Americans could each receive a check for about $6,150. Well I think he didn't knew the mathematics behind his post.

Now on its 40th day, the U.S. government shutdown was sparked over disagreements over whether or not to fund an extension for Obamacare subsidies, which are set to expire on Jan 1, 2026, resulting in an estimated 4 million people losing health insurance and premiums increasing by 114% for Obamacare enrollees.

The shutdown has even resulted in a lapse in food assistance payments for 42 million Americans, including 16 million children, and significant disruptions to air travel as air traffic controllers continue to work without pay. We all know that no one wants to work without any pay.

And, while some experts have anticipated Trump caving to Democrats’ demands out of fear of political backlash, $TRUMP new proposal would see Obamacare gutted entirely, and instead, send the hundreds of billions of dollars directly to Americans.
