Reposted by Alan2ooJustin Wolfers @justinwolfers.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Trump says tariffs will pay for the $5,000 checks. But tariffs have brought in about $140 billion extra so far, against a $1.2 trillion promise. That covers roughly eleven cents per dollar. The rest just gets borrowed. newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/i-promise-...newsletter.platypuseconomics.comI Promise I'm Good for ItSo does the president. His check is $5,000, mine is $5,000, and so far the two of us have funded the exact same number of them. 3929595
