This announcement came with mixed reviews.
This is 100% insane. We are hugely in debt and found some money that isn’t really ours & might still might be claimed by others, & now we want to give it away randomly in a way that furthers the horrific precedent created during the COVID Panic that is going to lead to socialism!

No one can deny some of America's trading 'partners' were taking advantage of the situation and Trump righted the ship.
I would rather that money go toward paying the debt first. Once that is free and clear, then you should start reduce the tax liability for everyone. Then, once the federal government is fully funded by tariffs, rebate legal citizens.

Some had other ideas on how to prioritize the additional money.
Speaking as one who actually agrees — the messaging here needs work - you aren’t really connecting on this issue with young people who are struggling to pay for basic necessities, can’t find jobs, and see the waste of gov with their hard earned money, to then be told in their…

The real truth is that for whatever ill effects the tariffs are having, they are providing a financial cushion offsetting some of the deficit. And when they're gone, the US financial position will be even worse. https://t.co/GFCuYMTVnd
