There is no such thing as a free lunch, so the money will have to come from somewhere.

It's predicted to increase our budget defect by over a trillion dollars.

Some conservatives oppose a Universal Basic Income, but this Trump "dividend" seems just as bad.

I like how the money would go to every adult U.S. citizen, instead of just the rich. So I like it more than his tax cuts to the rich.

I realize it would jump start our national economy and create jobs for a while, but it would also increase our nation debt.

Too many Americans are dumb about money. His plan will appeal to foolish Americans who don't care about debt.
