It appears the US Treasury department showed us the best way to push a rumor that individuals in the United States, suffering from the changes put in place by the Trump Administration economic policies, is to issue a press release on the US Treasury website indicating checks are forthcoming. 

Unfortunately, the press release indicated on the front page of the United States Treasury website is from December 30, 2020.

You may be able to see for yourself by going to the following link Treasury and IRS Begin Delivering the Second Round  [https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sm1224]

The attached is an image of the U.S. Treasury website as of December 31, 2025, but it may have been corrected by now.

Historically, President Donald J. Trump has battled the truth, so it’s no wonder members of his staff have followed his lead.  The following websites fact check politician distortions of the truth:

• PolitiFact
• The Washington Post Fact Checker 
• CNN Fact Check
• Associated Press Fact Check
• The New York Times Fact Checks

The US Treasury estimated the fourth quarter of 2025 (October through December) would have an end-of-year cash balance of roughly $850 billion U.S. dollars.  Apparently, even the U.S. government has overspent as it appears Treasury will need to borrow $569 billion in privately-held net marketable debt, to meet their goal.

Where is all the money going?  Where are all the billions going the U.S. is collecting in tariffs?
