"As you can see, the revenue collected this year from tariffs is so much higher than previous years. Right now, as of November, it's at $228 billion. But of course, the year isn't over yet. For December, the government is expected to collect about another $35 billion, maybe 40 billion, you know, on the high end. And then we have the rest of November, right? So the final figure for the year, it's going to come around slightly under $300 billion for the entirety of 2025."

"the $1,400 stimulus check that was issued back in 2021, that cost $411 billion. ... if you're talking about a $2,000 tariff dividend or stimulus check, that's going to cost $600 billion."
