Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good news, Casey, whatever, we have a new winner of
the Dumbass of the Day award here in the Kendley
Casey Show.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's surprising it's not someone from our state government.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
As the authority say, we're venturing across state line. We are,
we're getting federal.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Do you want to tell everybody who it goes to?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Who the award it is? Republican Missouri Senator Josh Holly,
this is the most stupid thing I think I have
ever heard. I cannot believe he's saying it. I cannot believe. Well,
I can totally believe with Trump that he's on board
with it. We are that, I mean, like you and
I just looked at each other when we read this article.
(00:39):
So he is proposing, Josh Holly, Republican senator from Missouri,
that a check rebate, they call him tariff rebate, tariff
rebate check Yeah, of six hundred dollars per adult and
child be sent to American family. So like, for example,
I have a wife, I have a daughter at eighteen
(01:00):
hundred dollars, good for you. You would get twelve hundred
dollars you and your husband. Yeah, keV, sorry, six hundred
for you. That's it. But and we'll get to this
a second, the reason he's citing this. But I just
looked at you and I said, and I use some
colorful language that I cannot use on these FCC governed airwaves.
Surprise of no one. We are thirty seven trillion dollars
(01:24):
in debt. We will be fifty seven ish trillion in
debt by the end of the next ten years. The
whole premise of the tariff was, look at all this
revenue it will generate for our country, our government. Whatever
shouldn't that money go used to pay down the debt?
And what did we say about Remember when Trump's like
(01:45):
he's got the gold visa card or whatever, and He's like, oh,
all the money we get, it will be used to it.
We said, there will not be a dime of that.
They'll go and put out on the nations that they
will use it for another legalized bote buying scheme.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
So Holly's proposing something that combines the Trump tarff swagger
along with a COVID era check nostalgia and just sprinkle
in just a little bit of populous flair. Right, He's
trying to combine it all into one stew Of course.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
This bill.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
It's facing a difficult path, is it the rules to
be Here of the House is not on board with this.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Yeah, but the rule now seems to be whatever Trump wants,
they just do. I mean, look at that big bull
crab bill that they passed. It's horrible and ready admitted
it's horrible. People who voted for it admitted its horrible. Trump,
whyted it? We do it?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
You do have to wonder if this legislation wasn't inspired
by Donald Trump, who has made remarks about passing out
some rebate checks for Americans.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Now, what's crazy to me though about that? I mean,
the idea of it's crazy, first of all. But Holly
was the guy with Bernie Sanders who was one of
the main guys during COVID, wanting to send the money
out to people. Yeap, what did that do to society?
Just throwing five trillion dollars at people? Case, how did
that work out?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah? I made everything a little bit more expensive, didn't it.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
And you're and he wants to do it again. He's
citing that as doing it again.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, And we we.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Told you this was gonna happen. We told you this
will not go down to pay nations dead, it will
not get the dollar under control, it will not go
to fiscal sanity. And the same thing with these these
these gold cards that they're selling now they were they're
replacing the EB five visa card. That's not going to
go to pay down anything. They just anytime these people
(03:29):
get money at any level. Think about our state. We
had a six billion dollar surplus a couple of years ago.
Now we have so little money. We had to raise
taxes buy a billion dollars to they claim to pay
the bills. These people at any level, local, state, federal,
if you give them money. It's why the public education
argument is such a joke. If we just had more money, No,
(03:50):
it doesn't matter. You will spend it. You all spend it.
You never save it, you never use it responsibly. You
just believe in throwing at people and trying to buy
as many votes as you possibly can.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
But if you're listening, you might be thinking to yourself, well, okay,
we're sending all this money to other countries Ukraine, for example,
and I'm sitting here driving around to two thousand and
nine forward the windows broken on, so yeah, give me
a check.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
The problem is the check, as we found during COVID
costs you way more in the future, yes, right, because
of inflation. I mean, how many people, because remember they
were all like, oh, if you go on, buy yourself
an iPhone or a.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Television, or just start the economy.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, and then what it did. I mean, I'm probably
the only person left who still has their COVID check
sitting in their bank account. Like all the money's gone.
Everything costs a lot more. Now you've lost. You've lost.
I mean even guys like me have lost on the
deal because whatever I save, inflation is taken in front
of it. But all the people who spent the money,
now you're getting, you're getting, they want to do it again.
(04:51):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
So they're saying these checks would be structured as a
refundable tax credit, so.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
You wouldn't even get the money. They're just gonna like
you get, you get it, give your credit. You're getting
away access your tasks.
