No, the IRS Isn’t Sending Stimulus Checks in November 2025—But Trump Just Floated a $2,000 ‘Tariff Dividend’

No, the IRS Isn’t Sending Stimulus Checks in November 2025—But Trump Just Floated a $2,000 ‘Tariff Dividend’

Today, New York Fed President John Williams said the Fed may soon need to rebuild reserves by gradually purchasing assets—a technical step for liquidity management, not a policy pivot—after the Fed’s decision last week to halt quantitative tightening (QT) on December 1.  Federal Reserve+3The Economic Times+3ABC+3 What happened Why
