Donald Trump announced several financial proposals during his convention, tying them to Republican control of Congress. These promises include sending $5,000 to every American adult, providing $8 billion in direct payments to U.S. farmers, and directing the Department of Justice to settle veteran claims if Republicans win the House and Senate. Trump also proposed a new program offering up to $30,000 for reporting government fraud.

Why it matters

The proposals represent potential massive fiscal injections into the economy, contingent on the outcome of the midterm elections. Trump framed Republican control as a path to economic success, while predicting an economic depression if Democrats win. However, no legislation authorizing the payments has been enacted.
