@rooster Call it a federal funding discrepancy refund, and limit it to residents of states that pay more federal tax than they receive in federal funding.
Sorry, Hawai'i.

@rooster People in Arkansas get $142 each, which is more than most red states.

@rooster @APBBlue Offset by a one time tax one the 1% they equals the cost of the bill of course. Let the billionaires do something for the people for once.

Even better, Dems can pay for it by rolling back some of Trump's tax cuts for the wealthy.

@rooster They should absolutely do it. It would even bring inflation down a tad just for a moment.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite @rooster I think the clever thing is, pass the law in the house, and then show the GOP and Trump opposing this very measure.
If you frame it cleverly, there's probably a way of making Trump look really bad if he vetos the thing.
(If you can sneak this in a budget reconciliation bill, you might also get around filibuster).
Basically, you need to make Veto and Filibuster politically costly / unpopular, to make sure the GOP sinks again in 2028.
The $5000 thing is a very clever way of making trump look bad if he vetos it.
