Trump’s $5K checks could join stack of past unfulfilled promises, former Congress budget chief warns

Former Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Holz-Eakin stated that President Donald Trump's proposed $5,000 tariff checks are unlikely to be distributed. Holz-Eakin did not specify which past commitments he was referencing. Trump's administration has announced a plan involving tariff-related payments and cost-reduction initiatives through the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. No timeline or funding mechanism for the $5,000 checks has been officially detailed by the administration.
