đșđž Why a U.S. Stimulus in 2026 Is Very Much on the Table$XRP
Hereâs the part most people are missing.
Donald Trump has repeatedly floated the idea of using tariff revenue to fund a $1,200 stimulus check. If tariffs remain in place, that revenue alone could justify direct payments to households.
But even without tariffs, the outcome may look similar.
If courts or policy shifts force the U.S. government to refund collected tariffs, the money doesnât disappearâit flows straight back into the economy.
According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, nearly 90% of tariffs were paid by U.S. consumers and businesses.
So if ~$175B in tariffs are refunded, roughly $157B goes back to U.S. entities.
Different paths. Same result.
đ Either direct stimulus checks
đ Or indirect stimulus via refunds and stronger corporate balance sheets
Both increase liquidity.
Both support consumption.
Both tend to be bullish for risk assets.
No guaranteesâbut the macro setup strongly favors stimulus one way or another. đ
