Summary
Former President Trump has proposed a $5,000 payout to every adult American if Republicans win both chambers of Congress in the upcoming midterms, a plan estimated to cost at least $1.3 trillion. This proposal comes as the U.S. Treasury is already spending approximately $95 billion monthly on interest payments to cover deficits, with the federal budget deficit totaling $2 trillion in the first 11 months of fiscal year 2026.
