Ron_Artest 2,436 Posted 5 hours ago 11 hours ago, The Real timschochet said: So let’s discuss this “warrior dividend”: there are 1.4 million Americans serving in our military. At $1,776.00 per person, that’s around 2.5 billion. The U.S. debt is 38 trillion. It goes up by 1.8 trillion every year. Also, isn’t spending money a decision by Congress? President Donald Trump’s $1,776 checks for more than a million troops, announced Wednesday, come from Congressionally-allocated reconciliation funds intended to subsidize housing allowances for service members, a senior administration official confirmed. During a prime-time TV address, Trump said he was “proud to announce” that “1,450,000 military service members will receive a special, we call ‘warrior dividend,’ before Christmas.” He added that to honor the nation’s founding, “we are sending every soldier $1,776. Think of that. And the checks are already on the way.” The senior administration official told Defense One in an emailed statement late Wednesday evening that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth directed the Pentagon to “disburse $2.6 billion as a one-time basic allowance for housing supplement” to all eligible service members ranks 0-6 and below. https://www.defenseone.com/policy/2025/12/trump-rebrands-congressionally-approved-troop-housing-subsidy-warrior-dividend-bonus/410250 Warrior Dividend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So he might actually be taking Congressionally-approved money away from soldiers. Hopefully it’s just bluster and they keep it as a tax-free housing supplement.

This morning, no Trump flag. Bro had enough after last night. Pathetic Truly a real life POS. One of our neighbors is a liberal couple, as liberal as they come - Ukraine sign in the front yard, vegan, electric car, no jobs. We just agree not to talk politics when we hang out. They're good people if you separate them from their social media and politics. I even choke down crappy vegan food out of courtesy when we go to their place to play cards. I think his name is Pat, but, I keep calling him Jay for some reason. So I just refer to him as Fist Bump Guy because I don't think he ever went back to shaking hands after covid. Very talented couple though, musicians, crafts, any of the liberal arts. Jay is like my best friend now after I gave him a huge bag of our home-grown. Imagine being so consumed that you'd flip your neighbor off just because of a political sign in their yard. Yikes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real timschochet 7,550 Posted 4 hours ago 2 hours ago, Mr Fantasy said: I agree “Tonight's Trump Speech If you voted for and believe in Trump, you should believe he has known what he has been doing economically for the past 11 months. The economy is like an aircraft carrier--it takes a long time to turn it around. I believe Trump had a plan the moment he took office--tariffs to create fair trade, reduced income tax, gutting the Green Energy Scam, promoting investment in American manufacturing, reducing the federal bureaucracy and eliminating crippling regulations, deporting illegal aliens and eliminating the "free stuff" we taxpayers give them, getting the Fed onboard, etc. But that plan needed time. Time enough to make the economy shine come the mid-terms. Now we will start to see the fruits of that plan, and Trump's speech tonight is to announce that. Is he right? One thing I've learned is to never bet against Trump. Maybe he is wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. But I still have trust.” Do you really agree 100%? Honestly I don’t believe you. I’ve read plenty of your posts over the years and I don’t think you truly share Trump’s bizarre economic ideology. But you say you do because it’s a form of shoving it to liberals, which sadly for MAGA has become the first priority above the well being of our nation.
